what's a NH 67 baler worth and how good is it?

That being said, my friend was gonna scrap it but I figure it's worth something for someone as a baler and know of someone else who could use it. The sprockets and such look to be in very good shape on the knotters but I'm not very familiar with them. No breaks or welds anywhere. Kicker looks good but that doesn't matter as the other guy will take it off. A few teeth are missing on the pickup. The sheet metal has a lot of surface rust and pitting like it sat outside a lot, but no holes.

Were these units pretty good at baling? Are parts still available? How much are they worth?

Put and ad in the local paper with no price. Let someone make an offer.

Last summer I purchased a NH 66 for $100. Before I could pull it out of the farmer's barn, he had three offers over the phone to buy it for $300 site unseen. I put new (used) tires on it and works just fine. I would have paid $500 myself but he was only asking $100. I spent the other $400 for misc other old implements laying around the farm yard; NI 251 sickle mower; little giant plow on rubber, MD grain drill on wooden wheel, buzz saw w/o flywheel. I let him come out an help me make hay now. He seems to really enjoy seeing his old equipment get used.

He was a big help in teaching me how to set the baler for the two types of hay we were making. 100% grass and 50/50 grass/alfalfa. I couldn't get him to drive my tractor. He insisted on walking along the baler and checking it at first. Then once working OK, we hooked up a flat rack and he stacked the hay. That's when I really became nervous, but he didn't fall off and get hurt ;-)

I am hoping to get his old New Idea sickle mower working this Spring. He said it works but he warned me the Pitman bar is metal instead of wood. I haven't found a replacement wooden pitman. No New Idea dealers nearby. Can't find it on line either. Looking for NI Model 251 pitman arm. HELP!

Once I get the part, I will call him up and see if he wants to help me replace the metal one. Then we will "give her a go" as Bob says! The knives and rock gards all look good. Better than the ones on my NH 479 haybine.
