I asked here last fall about an IH 46 baler my son was looking at possibly buying. We only got to try it once on straw, and couldn't get it to tie a bale. After some looking and head scratching, all we came up with was that the hay dogs weren't moving. The upper ones were stuck (rust) in the raised position, and the lower ones had broken springs. PB Blaster, a hammer, and some $.80 hardware store springs, and Luke used it yesterday to pick up the rest of the hay, while I was waiting on parts for my New Holland. It missed a few, but Luke said it got better the longer he used it. Probably just getting parts polished up after years of sitting.
