More on the 77 baler. Dad was almost killed starting the V4 engine. It was mounted high on top,
over the huge bull gears and had a loose crank. Sort of "in your face". The engine kicked and threw the crank. When he came around he crawled about a quarter mile to the house. He had a severe concussion and was laid up for about a week.
A neighbor had a NH 70 baler. This model had a canvas draper to deliver the hay to the bale chamber. It had a multiple V-belt drive from the engine to the flywheel. I saw him many times start the engine by pulling on the belts. One time he was not so lucky and lost the ends of all the fingers on his right hand. Another time he set fire to the baler by refueling with the engine running. He jumped on the tractor and pulled the baler out of the field leaving a streak of fire as he went. For years after that you could see where that fire burned because of a particular weed that came in the burned areas. Ed
