New Holland hay baler, early one with Wisconsin V-4 engine. Horse drawn hay tedder, commonly called "kickers" because of the kicking action of the forks. Horse drawn dump rake. Two bottom Oliver plow. Grain drill with grass seeder attachment, not sure of the make.

The first picture looks like a baler (Massey Harris?) our neighbor had when I was a kid, he came and baled for us. There was a seat by the bale chamber where someone had to ride along and tie bales (I don't remember, maybe it was wire). The 4th picture looks like a hay "kicker" tedder like one that used to be in our woods long ago that I'd forgotten about.
When I was a teenager I worked for a Massey Harris dealer who also did custom baling. I spent many hours riding on that seat beside the knotters and I often had to retie the twine. The last time I baled hay I used a NH 570 baler and baled over 600 bales without a single broken one. How times have changed!

Proud that I guessed Wisconsin V-4 on first machine, as verified by Paul from Mi. Saw the two cylinders and intake spanning to another cylinder bank, so took a stab. Didn't know what the machine was actually for, though :lol:
Great pics, I always stop and look at stuff like this. Thanks for sharing.
My guess would be a New Holland Mdl.77 on the baler, since I have one. It's hard to tell from where the picture was taken but I would say it's a 77. I've never seen a Massey baler like that so I guess it could be. The Mdl. 77 is a great baler and built like a bull. Sure wish I could get some extra parts off of that old baler to have in stock.
As others have said the third picture is a hay tedder and they also work good for fluffing up hay for better drying.
Thanks Larry,,

I think the baler is a NH 77. I have one like it , still in pasture near the house. I don't know what make the dump rake is, but I have one like it.
Can't tell if the baler is a 77 or Super 77. Main difference is that the super had bearings on the plunger, plain 77 had slides.

Junk. When I was about 12-14 I got the job of taking a tractor down through the woods to an adjoining farm stead and dragging all the horse drawn equipment home. Took it all apart, saved the seats, wheels and any usable iron and rest went in the junk pile. Burned a hayrack full of harness too. Then all the buildings except the barn got burned. Barn was in nice shape, thick, high cement foundation, nice tin roof and walls, the hand cut beams pegged together.

Nope, the more I look at it, it isn't quite right for an Oliver.

Look up!!
Like others have said that's a NH 77 baler.
Local guy has one for sale. I wanted to look at it because it was interesting, might be fun to get going and pull around the field every now and then. He said it worked just a few years ago.
Got there and it didn't run, had rotten bales in the chamber and was missing a few parts. Turns out he bought it from an estate and the grandson told him it had run just a few years ago. A mechanic friend tried to get it to run, couldn't so they gave up on it.
Then he said he wanted $1200 for it. I said no thank you and went home...

Ya,the first time Dad used his and it did that,he thought it was broke. A guy out east of town had one,so we went out to see him and ask if he knew what was wrong. I still remember,he was coming down the road on one of those old big hump back IH self propelled combines. Dad stopped him right in the road to ask him. Memories.

thats why I posted the old stuff,it does bring back memeories to all of us..,the stuff can always be junked anytime,,but it is nice to see some memories hang on isnt it? I had such a nice visit with this man yesterday.H e talked for over two hours,,,and I listened.He is the last man of my fathers age bracket in my home town,that my dad was friends and grew up with.His memory and his knowledge is absolutely perfect.As he told me yesterday,,from the neck up he is fine....
Ya,that old baler brings up a lot of old memories. I remember when the flywheel fell off of it down on Howard Wilson's place one time. Lots of memories of putting up hay on that place,playing with his kids,a dealer bringing out a new Oliver 1800 to demonstrate it plowing down there.
The motor on that baler caught fire up on Uncle Donald's place. Some kids on motorcycles were riding slow in front of a couple of volunteer firemen. The Constable gave them a ticket for it.
