I am looking for information, and a source for pictures if possible on a New Holland Baler.
I will describe as much about this as I can.
I know that it was built during WWII. My father drove our Farmall H to New Holland in Feb to get the baler. He left right after milking in the morning and did not get back until that evening. New Holland is 45 miles from home.
Now I have to say that is based on stories since I wasn't born until 1944.
The baler was HUGE. It had a Wisconsin V-4 (which I still have) and drove with I think 6 vee-belts to a large fly wheel. Standing at the front of the baler, looking back the plunger was on the left side. The elevator (right) was canvas with a top and bottom belt. The cross feed was an auger.
Originally there was a wooden seat mounted on the side of the bale chamber on the left side---that disappeared after I hit it with the Cletrac.
The hitch was heavy plate bent in a semi-circle in the front. There was a screw jack and tool box mounted inside the hitch in front of the engine.
The drive for the plunger was off two big open bull gears. Ours was a twine baler.
The engine was (is) crank start that would kick like a mule and if you weren't careful try to put the crank into orbit. If you stalled it hot it had to cool before it would restart. There was a hand clutch on the output of the motor.
It also had BIG rubber tires.
Unfortunately, in about 1960 it caught fire from a broken bearing on the auger feed and the only thing salvageable was the engine. Amazingly I was using the same Farmall H that my father used to pick it up when the fire happened. If anyone could aim me in the right direction I would appreciate it. I have tried doing searches and think it may have been a Model 77, but cannot find any pictures to verify that.
