Yes Bruce because the British built version was known as the B47, which replaced the british built B46.

Hi;
We've made many thousands of bales with a 47. Local report was that the 47 was a lot better baler than the 46 but they way have compared a well maintained 47 vs a worn out or poorly adjusted 46. Ours would miss a few bales but if it missed more than 3 in 100 we'd stop and tinker with it. What do you need to know? Keewaydin

Their is one at an auction on Saturday and I'm looking for a baler and was wondering if they was any good and how hard parts are to come by. Thank you

IH made the 45 , then the next series in the late 50's was the 46. In the 60's IH made the 27,37,47,and I think 57. Next came the 420, 430 and 440.Then in the late 70's the 425,435 and 445. Parts are similiar on the 46 and the 37 and 47. The 27 and 420 are small and cute but built cheaper than dirt. Needles are the same for all models. Knotters are the same for 46 and the 27,37,47. The 37 is a good baler. Dad has used a 37 for 24 years with no major problems and the knots are double bowtie and good. I have had fair luck with the 46 and the 425 is my baler. I sold a fair 37 without kicker for 400.00 last month, but that means little. Never saw a 37 go for more than 800.00 in the last ten years, but this is NH country. Lately any IH 400 series with kicker has been $3000. +. However, 40 year old balers are not prime investments, usually are not worth restoring because of lack of market,and tend to be worn thin. IH may have the parts for the 47.Best of luck when buying a used baler-of any brand.

"Cheaper than dirt" That reminds me:-
Many years ago, when IH built balers in Doncaster, they used to come to our place to try out various experimental balers in one of our larger hay fields. They once brought one down to play with, which was very small, had a very short chamber and drawbar, and I also noticed that the channel tightening screws only tightened the top of the bale chamber, instead of squeezing both the top and the bottom of the emerging bale as per usual. It seemed to run OK, but it was no where near as fast as shall we say, their 'normal' balers. Internationals field test engineer explained to me that it was a 'cheap and nasty' baler, especially designed for the North American market, and 'no way would we ever be able to sell anything like this in Europe!'
Soon after that, IH stopped building balers in Doncaster,they gave the contract to make balers to Vicon in Holland who made an absolute balls up of it. Soon after that IH baler production ceased altogether in Europe

Hi
Well I have just baled 160 last night after tea with A46 and never missed one, a bit slow but does a good job, I had to do a lot of work on it before it would bale that many in a rowe
