Like docgrt said, it's an IH Model 15.
There's not much to it for parts. Apart from those great, giant open gears, and the tension screws on the chute, there's very little to it for parts that aren't plain old angle iron and sheet metal. The few very few ratchets that might make for an adjustment or pawls that are on it, if they're needed at all, can be easily fabbed up from plain steel stock. Things of that sort might be a lever to trip the gizmo that loads the block that goes between bales into the stuffer on top, and drops it so that the plunger can push it ahead. After that, it's just bearings. Ebay always has surprises, but I doubt you'll find much for parts unique to the machine out there.
These things date from the days of threshing machines, and many of them were abandoned not because they were worn out, but because things like balers and combines that could be drawn behind a tractor came along. A lot of them just need a little lube and cleaning up to run.
For no more than you'd have in it at scrap prices, I'd get it and keep it and try it out. Apart from the bearings (which can be measured up for size if they need replacing), there are no parts that I would call precision on them. Marvellously simple machines.
Get hold of a belt, build three or four blocks to put between the bales, get you some wire, and give it a try.

I was thirteen, and Kathy (my oldest sister) was seven. At this age, I believed tractor farming was the only way, hot stuff -- and given a chance I probably would have used the tractor, Dad's first, a 1936 Model "A" John Deere, to go bring in the cows! And I think Dad was ready for some automation too. And so it was that we acquired a good, used J. I. Case, wire tie hay baler. In addition to a person to drive th
