Can any one tell me if this is a good baler . Father in law picked it up cheap for me. works quite well in all aspects except the tying system. Does anyone know the cost to rebuild the knotters. Everything is pretty rusty on it and i wopuld like it working as best as possible so if it is too small I can sell it and the next guy would have no problems. I hate passing crap to the next guy

I think they were the best baler ever built, the difference in a S 66 and a 66 being in the way it measured the bale, the 66 had only 3 positions, 30"' 36"' & 42" while the S66 was variable from 24" to 42" and the wood slide bearings on the plunger if they are worn will cause the notter problems. We had a 66 with engine for years and would put thru over a 1,000 bale a day at times, sold it in mid 70's to get a baler with kicker, qiut baling in 81 and told that. I know fave only 12 acres and have a 66 & S66 that I want to combine for one good baler

Does anyone know how many of the 66 / S66 balers that they made? I still see them everywhere in Western, Pa.

I have a NH 66 and like it a lot. It isn't a high production baler, but suits me just fine.

One of my knotters was worn out, the other worn but ok. I rebuilt one, and replaced the other...buying the replacement cost me about the same as the parts for rebuilding the other. Somebody, I think it was on this site, about a year ago had a stock number for knotters that fit with just a little minor adjustment (I think I replaced one mounting bolt) and tinkering. Also replaced the old twine that was in it (it is sensitive to twine type/size.) It has tied just about perfectly since.

2 years ago NH was dumping new knotters for about $150. I got one and put it on my 68. Last summer I checked and the price went back up to over $300 for a knotter.

I was the one that posed about the price. I really pissed me off, and not much gets me mad. We were going to buy a knotter and the price was almost $400. We held off, and decided the next year to finally buy one. The cost was then under $200. At the time I worked at NH as an intern. The CNH COST for a knotter was $80 some dollars. You do the math....

We all get pi$$ed when it is somebody else making a profit, but don't have a problem when it is us. But I have looked at the math, and suspect it may not be as outrageous as you think:

I know in the case of the company that I work for, they bill my hours out at more than twice what I make...but a huge percentage of that is now the cost of health insurance, then other stuff added in, so the actual profit the company makes on me is something like 1-3% which isn't very much. I'd bet NH is probably in a similar situation.

Bill hooks cost $38.50 each. The knife arm cost $55.17 each. NH dealer should have them in stock.

Dave, I have two balers...N.H. 273 and a N.H 65 which is prob close to yours. I rebuilt the 65 and works really well just getting rusty and old. Anyway...Replace the wood slides with new ones I made them out of oak. or replace with bearings. Also the knotters replace the bill hookes and replace the bronze bushing on the twine cutoff knife arm. The bushing usually gets flat spots and replacing them is usually very simple. Mine had screw and washer on the end. Unscrew and replace. If the arms you have dont have screws just been spread to hold bushing get whol new set. Also see how worn your needles are if the wear is greator than 1/4 wear, weld the wear and grind smooth or get new. cheeper to weld.
I enjoy working on balers and have learned alot. Never new why people thought they were hard to get to work however I did work on one one time for a guy that I believe was a lemon just wouldnt tie consistantly.

hope this helps

Dave i'm not sure on the super, but the regular 66 that i have is one heck of a bailer. puts out a real good bale and pretty consistant. the guy i got it from said it skipped a knot on the left side about 30% of the time and it did. but after replacing the plunger wood bearings and cleaning the knotters(using emery cloth) and adjusting the tension on the knotters it did not miss a knot. not bad to be at least 50 years old! i guess they quit making the model 66 in 1954. hope this helps.
