Cant wait to hear more of the famous Phardtpounder family history 😂

[@bigun447]

Wire tie balers are easy to understand. The thingy goes around and around, it goes grabby, grabby, then it goes snip, snip. And if you are lucky the bales come out the back and all is well. The baling wire you have still in the baler can fix a lot of equipment, repair a lot of gates, and hold several Fords together.... The shorts you have up take away the fun of guessing what your video is about. Happy baling.

[@keithwuchter624]

Great video Ross. Looks like you got some new toys to play with. Can't wait to learn about the wire tie baler. Thank you for sharing and loved the history lesson. Thanks again.

[@WisconsinOliverNut]

More treasures! The Phardpounder history lesson was great! A couple of them looked like Discount Chris 🤔😄

[@isaacwalker7863]

I looked up phardtpounders and apparently there is a hot sauce called “professor phardtpounders colon cleaner” 😂😂😂 one thing that those old new holland balers have going for them is the jacks. We scraped one that was completely trashed and I cut the jack off of it just to have it cause they work incredibly well.

[@OldIron2188]

when I heard that accent I knew some serious stuff was about to go down.

[@ThatOliverGuyChris]

😂😂😂 The Colonel was a scoundrel. During the great chicken shortage of 1893 he substituted opossum for the meat. Seeing as how one of the 11 herbs and spices was weed, no one ever seemed to notice. If fact, they ended up with the munchies so strong that they helped with the launch of the new churro that he made from the leftover parts. He even had to guts to call them Possum Tails. And now you know the rest of the story.

[@michaelsheeder148]

Well that clears up the mystery 🤣🤣🤣 thanks Michael

[@Dan-qy1rg]

Yep, he looks like a real questionable character to me, hi Chris!

[@rosstheoliverman]

See, that’s why I do KZbin to learn the inside story 🤣

[@ThatOliverGuyChris]

@@Dan-qy1rg hi Dan!

[@davidroberts3489]

You’re killing me😂😂😂

[@emmitt00]

Fantastic documentary

[@user-dd8wh3xi6u]

How many barley pops were involved in creating the Civil War spoof??

[@Thewilsonfarm]

That was some funny stuff had me laughing out loud.

[@davidroberts3489]

Back in the early 70s when I was a young strapping lad, an old farmer wanted myself and sidekicks to put up hay for him. Wire tied and weighing over 100lbs we put up hay and on top of that we had to salt it in the mound. For lunch he grudgingly gave us bologna on bread, than at the end of the day only paid us .50 an hour taking off for the sandwich. We told him to screw himself and his wire tie baler. Ruined leather gloves, calluses, and rotten bellies from likely bad bologna. We ended up going back but no wire no bologna and an appropriate 3.50 an hour. Old bastard

[@Adam_Poirier]

Lmao 😂 well I got my history lesson in for the day. It's amazing how familiar those guys from the 1800s look

[@rosstheoliverman]

You know how they say everything tastes like chicken? Apparently everyone from the Civil War looks like a Phardpounder.

[@ThatOliverGuyChris]

In breeding was in back then

[@michaelsheeder148]

Ross, I've never seen a wire baler I heard of them but I've never seen one work in real life when we were on the farm. I'm looking forward to seeing your videos on the Baler. Quite hilarious video 🤣🤣🤣🤣🐓🐔 thanks Michael

[@kcoers]

Excellent ad! However, I was never so happy when the cows and then the balers left the farm.

[@danw6014]

I believe the baskets will be turning the wrong way.

[@Eli-lb7em]

Another great video

[@rosstheoliverman]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@kerrybradbury8768]

Hello from Tasmania. Our family has been using New Holland balers for fifty years. Don’t know anything about wire twister’s. thanks Kerry.

[@user-is1cb5me8v]

great video looks like a challenge lol

[@NCOliverfarm]

Our Oliver and White dealer short lined new holland and new idea for a long time. They run deals where if ya bought a new Oliver tractor you could get a free rake. Or stuff of that nature. NH was the best stuff back then. Very few Oliver hay tools were sold by our dealer.

[@pagrainfarmer]

Should be interesting video(s) on this baler. I have no knowledge or experience with wire tie balers, so i'm looking forward to learning.

[@dwalke26]

The tedder, I think, is the same as a Kuhn. I’ve got one that’s still a 4 basket, and the times, at least, are the same as Kuhn. The Deere 752 and NH 163 both look identical to the Kuhn’s of the era.

[@fullers1966]

This video must took a little bit to put together great video what's the advertisement in it now I'm hungry for chicken

[@rosstheoliverman]

🤣 it really didn’t take that long. I had the idea one night and started Photoshop the pictures, and then I just made up some nonsense to voice over it.

[@berniemarkley]

Genius. Love the Phardtpounders!

[@DonWelter]

Aha...the intrusion of times gone by. LOL Now you've added more job security to your "to-do" list Hope there's more gladness than sadness in the baler resurrection.

[@randyrobinson8751]

Reminds me of colonel sanders in the waterboy lol

[@jvin248]

Several days or a week before you decide to tear into the old baler you should hose it all down with used motor oil so you'll have fewer disassembly issues. If there are wasps in the top there could be a whole nest in that old chamber hay; bee careful.

[@stephenheyes4324]

Another project complete with much sadness

[@Dan-qy1rg]

Hey, nice finds on the items, low price and busy work for you, hee hee. Also I agree with That Oliver Guy Chris, the Colonel is a real crafty individual. He has that questionable look about him and I hear he has like a ton of coins in a glass jar, I think he just loaded it up too. Like what you are doing and good luck with the wire tie baler, enjoyed watching and hearing the tail of the, well you know, the thing, on the hill.😂😂🙃😅 I hope you have a great week!

[@randyrobinson8751]

Rusty treasure lol. Yeah best friend pulled a good one, bought a case 120 combine that you sit side saddle on. Has a DC case engine on it

[@MrJflagel17]

What is benefit of wire over twine? To me it would seem twine is way easier to manage both while baling and also feeding as you can just ball it up and stuff it in your pocket once it’s cut

[@berniemarkley]

If all else fails, you have 2 nice rolls if bailing wire

[@dougrobertson5966]

Oliver built wire balers too.

[@br927]

when you're fixing things, wire is way better then twine!!

[@jamieebersole6755]

I wonder if the Lancaster County boys at ABC Groff would have needles cheaper then 300 some odd bucks. A 4 basket tedder will not work properly as a 2 star because the inside 2 spin the opposite direction on a 4 star so trying to use them as a 2 star it will try to just sling the hay out the sides instead of the back. Good to see you got the book and now a new holland baler.

[@randyrobinson8751]

Tractor supply Co has baler wire

[@whiteeagletrans9850]

One thing Ross if the rest is in good shape. And you don't like the wire tie you can change it to twine. Just a complete set of twine heads thx Ross enjoy your day

[@oldasdirt1909]

The golden fine rusty vice grips even better they’re the real deal. Money well spent. Plus an antique heresy chocolate mix box with more hidden treasure. Getting that baler running could be a challenge(much sadness) good luck …….😅

[@robertnelson5064]

Looking forward to baler action and video. Great buy.

[@frankwurth5375]

Ross, Not trying to be a know it all, but by studying your baler close ups, I see the start of the failure. BTW, I've worked on more than my share of balers over the years. You will notice that the shear pin on the knotter/ twister drive, is broken. That is why the needles were left sit in the chamber to start. The plunger safety latch should have saved the day by stopping the plunger and shearing the flywheel pin. But it didn't, so that device for some reason has failed, likely by being rusted to the point that it's stuck, or some genius has disabled it. By the over all looks of the baler's condition, it has been out in the weather most of it's life. As we all know, that's never a good thing for balers. I'm betting that the twister unit is rusted up to the point that when it tried to work after sitting all winter in the elements, the shear pin couldn't pull the stiff mechanism, and sheared mid cycle. Starting the whole chain of disaster. Also, as you likely well know, sometimes users , notice I didn't say operators, will try to tighten drive chains by removing a chain link. Well by doing that, the baler won't stay in time as the unit requires a specified number of pins in length for it to keep in time. A very common mistake done to balers by uninformed users! Be interested in what you find! As for the welding the needles, we always just brazed welded them back, might have to build up a bit for added strength as the pull on the wire is more than on twine. The break is low enough on the needle so as not to have clearance issues. Good luck. 618-910-1680

[@mattwilkinson8502]

Had a wire tie baler. Soak that rusty wire(if it is) by dumping a bit of diesel fuel over it. If I remember correctly that deal that flips back and forth is what I think holds the wire for the next bale. Also if your twisters have a grove worn in them you will need to fill that with something like JB weld and the grind so they are smooth.

[@larryklostermann5779]

Nice video Ross, some interesting stuff.

[@johnbender1596]

Looks like you need to check the needle safety latch. Possible missing spring that rotated the latch in when the needles are not in the home position. There is a grease fitting on the shaft that didn’t always receive lube. The safety latch would rust fast to the shaft that ran through it. This caused the safety latch to not move into the safety position. I have seen this on many balers over the years, and if you were in the field and needed to bale the best thing was to just take the shaft locating cotter pin out and let the shaft turn with the latch until it could be brought to the shop and the latch repaired. From experience you will find that the wire twister will either work or not work. You do not get intermittent mis ties like twine knotters. You can certainly figure out the twister with the help of a service manual. That is probably a middle 60’s 275, so it has some age on it. You may notice the 275 decal is silver. That is because 1965 was the 25th anniversary of the NH square baler. Enjoy the book about Ed Nolt.

[@alexgarrod9093]

Nice

[@ctfarms6471]

Well now you need a claas square baler they are the best in my opinion we’ve been running the same one since 86’

[@bradstroke]

Did you ever find a radio for the super duty?

[@user-xq1fm5rv5s]

I might be wrong but I think this is a 273 baler, not a 275

[@KCAATV]

I'm not sure what that Civil War spoof was, but all I can say about it is, DUH? No offense, but unless you are willing to throw away the old wire and buy two new boxes of genuine New Holland wire, and buy needles, you should just scrap it. Needless to say, you may find another baler like it with good needles. I owned three wire tie balers when I farmed. I owned an Oliver, and International and a John Deere. Although the Oliver had less capacity than the Deere, it was a good baler. The International was pure crap. It couldn't bale water. The Deere, which was a 224 WS as I recall, was by far, the best of the three. It was a real work horse. I could bale as much as 2500 bales a day in good Costal Bermuda. The 224 WS was the predecessor to the John Deere 346. I never owned a New Holland, but my neighbors owned them and they were rock solid. Some had Wisconsin engines. All of my balers were 540 power. This project will run you bat s#*t crazy unless you find an old fart who grew up with them and understands everything about them. Otherwise, run from it. Anyway, take my thoughts for what they're worth. I enjoy your videos. It is hard to beat the video series when you got your new pickup running. That was the best all, in my book. If you can bring that old baler back to life, it would top the list. Good Luck !!!

last time i did hay tedding it was 92 acres on a ford jubilee got 1st degree sunburn ended up at hospital that night still have scars

[@farronmccathern1849]

😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@waggtech4883]

I don’t understand how you’ve done without a wire tie baler. No farm repairs are completely successful unless baling wire is involved!

[@rosstheoliverman]

🤣🤣🤣

[@anthonyhengst2908]

Ooh, those auctions can be dangerous if you're not careful. I unwittingly bought a John Deere 3020 just by nodding my head in conversation with the guy standing next to me. I still have it and it runs great. Glad I accidentally bought it.

🤦‍♂️ you didn’t:)!
