Was fixing a tire for a fella today and he told me I could have his baler because he was getting a new one andd thhey wouldn't give his , so I tore up a 50$ slip and now own a baler. It needs the right hand needle. Any help would be appreciated, Mike

Just a quick note after reading the followups
I agree, get a parts and operators manual but I used various 66's for twenty years all in "aged" shape. A good baler for 1,000-2,000 bales a year. I would suggest you check the chains and keep extra links, sear bolts. Yes, I woulded go back but for the price I had invested they worked for me.

First, you might contact your nearest New Holland dealer for an operator's manual and parts book. They will be well worth it.

Second, baler needles can be welded or brazed in many but not all instances. If not, maybe you can find a good used set someplace, or barring that you'll find out how much New Holland thinks new ones are worth. It may help to be sitting down, when they tell you, if it comes to that.

Third, if you are a patient person you will probably get along with that 66 just fine. If you are kind of impatient, you may well get lots of experience in boning up on your profanity and drinking if you are going to put up more than a couple hundred bales a year. I've used a 66 and then a 68, and believe me there is a difference.

Good luck.

Most have been broken and welded back. If you have the pieces, you can have it done also. While you are at it, it pays to weld up any wear to the eyelets to the needles. They are exspensive, but you can still get them from NH. Either way, once fixed make sure the plunger brake is working to prevent the re-occurance. The Brake is on the bottom outboard side of the chamber infront of the needles. There is a spring that goes to it and a grease fitting that allows it to freely move on the rocker. If it is stuck and you don't fix it, keep your checkbook loaded and at the ready...
