I have an older MF baler and I'm having trouble finding the Model #. I can see a place where it looked like an ID plate used to be and there are some stamped letters (MHF)and #'s on its side. I wanted to get an operator's manual. I've tried this site's manual list for Massey and found only one listing that even sounded like it could be a baler-a "MF Haytender". Any ideas on where else I might look to find the model #?
I would also be interested in anyone's experience with MF square balers. Thanks in advance

One last comment: once you find out what you have, your local MF dealer can sell you a reprint of the manual. I bought a reprint this past summer for a MF 10 baler...the operator's manual cost around $5 and the parts manual less than $10. Both have been very helpful.

If you walk up to the baler, facing it as if you just got off the tractor, and put your left hand on the flywheel,then look at the frame around the Knotters, you should see it in a vertical position facing you, or it may be lower under the knotter frame attached to the outside of the bale chamber. That is if it's like the ones we've got. Ours are (4)Model 10s,and (1) model 12. If you'll watch E-bay's farm section, you may be able to find a manual, I just lucked up and got a manual for my MF model 20 hayrake from E-bay.

Thanks-I followed those instructions and exactly in that spot were two rivets and a shaded spot where the id plate used to be-do you know of any other place to look? So far the responses I've recieved indicate it may be a model #3. I would like to verify that before I get a manual-thanks again!

Sam,I've never saw a model 3,so I can't help you there. The only way I know is to keep asking until some one can tell you the differences,or write down all the casting #s and where they came from, and go to a dealer or try to find someone that used to work at a dealer,like a mechanic that can help you. Wish I could help,post a pic for us; Barney

If you see MHF on it, I would suspect it's a Number 3. A Haytender was MF's name for a mower-conditioner in the early 80's.

If it is in fact a # 3 MF Baler I have a manual for it.
