In my neck of the woods, old balers are very expensive. I think that in my area, price is driven by demand for square bales for horses - something that a lot of folks have around here that they use to not. Having said that, if you consider that if you spend $500 - $800 on an old rusty baler (which is the going rate here), you can plan on spending several more hundred dollars getting the thing in shape. Soooo, $1500 sight unseen seems a bit high, but if it is in as good a shape as you describe, it is most likely field ready with no additional repairs required - so $1500 seems reasonable. I have only been around the JD 24T and a NH 273. Both tied great and trouble free. But the JD made solid brick bales whereas the NH bales were somewhat raggid and banana shaped. Perhaps the NH needed a bit of adjustment. Good luck, Bill

On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
