Planned to go look at a square baler. Owner says it is a model 1480 ford. It is couple hours away so I searched for model for reference and to see if parts where available. I can find no record or reference of that model. Is this a good number or is there some where to find info on old equipment? Thanks, TP

You are much more than a hop,skip, or jump away. I just thought if you were close, you might want to take a peek at this baler either for the heck of it or you might want it for parts if it looked like it might need more than it was worth to get into working order. Well thanks for the shout back and have a great summer.

If it has grey wheels and drawbar then it is a I 4-80. I have one.

The I4-80 is one of several Model 250, Series 504 (red) ford balers produced in the mid-late 50's and early 60's. Nice simple machine, twine tie, PTO driven, not a lot to go wrong. New parts will be an issue if you plan on going to a dealer for them (non existance). If you go the route of a second machine for parts, give it a good look over. Many changes in the life of this baler and many of the later parts may not interchange with an early models.

I'm quite taken back. Thanks a bundle. I've spent hours searching the archives at several discussion boards and www with no results. In one morning at YT I have two hits. Just one more question :-) I need one just to get the cuttings off the clover fields so it doesn't die underneath. I only have an 8n and a 640. Neither have live pto. Will the 640 handle it ok? If yes, I'll have to check it out. It supposedly is in great shape and the guy just needs the space in his barn for new baler. Thanks again for your help.

Yes, the 640 or 8n would run the baler just fine. In fact I think the baler and 640 were produced in the same years (designed for each other?), however....

My NAA, simular to the 640, did just fine baling light to med hay (windrow). Ran a few extra strokes, 20 vs the recc. 16, but did a fine job of it. Even pulled a wagon behind the baler (flat ground). But, in heavy thick rows it was a bear. First gear was just to fast. Feeds in more than the baler can push through. It would have been ok if I could have slowed down bout half. But I didn't have a O/U trans or optional live pto. If it even looked like it might be boggin down, I would have to be quick on the clutch, slip it out of gear (without the baler stopping), and let the baler catch up. Then back on the cultch, let the baler stop and put her back in gear. It help to back up a bit so the baler would be back up to speed before you hit the row again. Had to be very diligent about it in the heavy stuff where one rake pass made a huge windrow.

BTW - Just out of courisity(sp) whats he askin?
My #1 early 55, working, needed few minor repairs - $130, #2 58-59, working, needed nothin - $85 #3 ??, parts, - $75.

I couldn't get a working NH for double all that around here.

I appreciate all that good info! The fella is asking $250 but was really trying to get me to drive up when I told him I couldn't find anything on that model. The catch is he doesn't know if it is field ready. He supposedly has never run this one before. Must of been in the barn when he bought the place or just trying to get around telling me any bad news. For three hours of driving and 250, it is a gamble. I don't know enough about them to know what I'm looking at. I'll probably pass and pay much more for one I know is at least running when I buy it.
I'll have to chew on it.
Thanks again.

Something is wrong I think. 1480 would appear to be a IHC model number. Of course maybe I'm wrong.

You are correct. IH did make a combine model 1480. This guy swears it says ford and model is 1480. I had him double check it a second time.
