I know that factory Canopys are hard to find for these old Olivers. Has anyone tried an aftermarket canopy made for a International or a Deere? I have found a fellow that sales some IH canopies that are copies of the factory ones. I think it will look pretty close to an Oliver canopy when painted up. I will have to check the dimensions, what do you guys think.
Thanks,
Matthew

One off a 2-70 White would fit too, but as long as it would mount up to the axel pads, you can use whatever you want. I"ve got one from a 2-85 on our 1855, and it"s a great thing to have, espescially in the hot sun like today.

see in pic behind your Oliver you have large squares,how you get along with them etc. All hay i raise is sold and so far can't give those type away. Always get this statementr when I want rotten hay I will ask for them till then now way. Have fellow who has over 300 of them any hes still has them. I still do small squares for my business 95% of the time. Just wonder what your response was,course you probably feed all yours so it doesn't make as much diff

We make small squares on our own, those are ones we bought because you guessed it... we feed everything. Last year we hired out our 2nd, 3rd, and some 4th crop to a guy with a large square baler, but he charges $8/bale, plus we have to fill his tank to cover his fuel expenses. We can't justify spending that kind of money on our own hay, so this year we're sweating it out again behind our old Massey 12 baler. As far as handling is concerned, they work pretty good with our Massey 165 w/ loader. We've got a 8' sliding door we put in the side of our barn where we used to have a bin in the hay mow for ground feed. We took the bin out, and the wooden box downstairs and just tore out the wall. It's at the perfect height for cattle trailers too, and we can close the door tight to the trailer.

I plan to cut 2nd crop on Sunday, and start baling on Friday when my brother comes home and I have off of work again. Looks like we should be able to get somewhere around 12-1500 bales or so. We got almost 2800 bales of first crop.

Bale baskets wouldn"t work for us, we stack them up in the barn and the only way up is an elevator. It"s a bit of a reach from the wagon so from the ground would be almost impossible.

Plus we gotta operate on a small budget so buying a whole new system isn"t really feasable.

So did I when I had them,we unlaoded them into a bale conveyor all the time. All you have to do is pull along the end of the elevator and just trip the gate,DON'T PULL FORWARD,DON"T MOVE after tripping gate and will swing open,you load the bale onto the conveyor r elevator as the slidse to you out the opening,Ifound them easier to unload than a normal flat rack as they just keep sliding to you. I don't know why everybody thinnks you have to string them all over the place to unload when you don't have to. I loved them like I said ran them for years.

Sorry no camera. The bolt holes in the bottem of the bar fit perfect if you widen it a little.The fellow should be able to do it for you. I did remove the fender bases so i could use all the holes.It looks great with a large aluminum top and painted to match.
