McCormick International Harvester Small square Baler IH47

Rescued from hedgerow along with twin. Only one survived transplant surgery. Making parts to make parts etc.
Unfortunately video was only intended as personal record so not exactly a KZbin knockout.
48" x 40 tonne (2x 20 tonne jacks) press brake made to produce sheet folds. Rolling machine made to produce collector fingers. The gears were courtesy of my Myford ML7 , obsolete after fitting a quick change gearbox. Some parts are possible to purchase but at astronomical prices.
Only 1 knotter was made functional the other later perhaps.

Thankyou. Just wish I'd videoed more of the process. It was all cobbled together as an after-thought.

thks for posting your great accomplishment, now you'll have a sheet metal brake and roller should you find another project. I taker it the bale chamber was in good shape to run the plunger

[@charliechancontraptions5951]

Thanks much appreciated. Although no roller for large sheets it was nibbled at with follder with larger channel. Bale chamber was seized solid and drive chains also. It has been re-worked new rollers made. But sadly never used. Health isues.
