Looks like a Massey-Harris 701 baler. Side mounted knotters had a blower to keep the chaff from building up. In my youth we had one with a four cylinder engine with four stubby exhaust that glowed red as it got to dusk. Think it was a Coventry-Climax.
Other versions had an Armstrong-Siddley single cylinder diesel which were much sort after. A further power unit used was a Standard Motor Company four cylinder Industrial similar to the Ferguson TE 20, I have the same engine in a Fordson Petrol Dexta.
One year, the boss sent me to turn three rows of barley straw together, with a rake, behind a 12 ft Ransomes combine, on a large estate. He then hired a contactor with a power drive version of the 701, behind a Fordson power Major. I got the job of stacking the bales on the towed sledge and have never worked so hard in my life. The baler was throwing a bale every minute it seemed and as fast as I got one stacked, the next one hit me behind the knees.

Although he himself has never actually owned or restored a tractor, he was always enthusiastic and always around helping with other peoples projects.
