I'm going next week to look at a very used but supposedly working JD 14T baler and a JD side rake(rolabar type) of unknown model. The rake is ground-driven, uses a sprocket & chain for speed increase with a freewheel clutch mechanism inside the wheel hubs, and has a single rake height adjust crank. Supposedly the rake has new sprockets & chain, and the baler will be timed, tho the big twine needles were once broken & welded due to bad timing. Are these models known for being straightforward to keep working, or do they become basket cases when they get well worn? Anything special I should watch for? The fellow is talking about $500 for the both of them, which fits my tiny budget. I need to put up some of my own hay, maybe 20 acres worth. Tinkering with equipment is second nature, but I'd like to spend as much time using as fixing :-).

In indiana the rake or the baler they are worth 5oo each in working order.Sounds like you need to check the plunger safety stop.This is what keeps the needles from being mashed by the plunger when out of time.A book will talk about this.I never try to repair equipment without a book.They even help operating the impliment.Start baling..

Thanks for the inputs, everyone. Sounds like, if all the pieces are there & move, they'd be a good deal. Expect postings in the near future of the "HELP, what's with this %$@!! machine" variety, I'm sure ;-).

500 for both of those if they're working would be a bargain.

Welded needles can be good or bad, it depends on how well it was done and what caused it in the first place.

Bout 15 years ago when I had our 14T a new set of needles ran 200 from a dealer. Probably more now, but still pretty reasonable compared to the other people.

Deere may well have the manuals for those two pieces and you'd be well advised to get a set if you do buy them.

I don't have any experience with JD balers but hear that they are pretty good. The rake sounds like my neighbors that I have used a few times. It was made in the early 50's and is very heavy. It has the straight axle in the back which is not as good on rough ground and the bearings on the ends of the bars are much more expensive to replace than a newer rake. When I used it, it worked very well.

In general, both NH & JD made good hay equipment. The 14T is old, and many are worn out, but they were good machines & should serve 20 acres. I'm not at all familiar with JD rakes, other than new ones bring way more that I could afford! You description sounds like an older style to me. Assuming both machines work & have some life in them, $500 sound quite reasonable to me.
