Thank You!

Thank You! Bill

Just found your site. Very interested in seeing your videos. May purchase a NH 65 for my smaller field. It has a thrower and I’m too old to pick the bales up. I may overpay for it but if it works well it will be worth it to me. Going back now to see your other videos. Glad I found you.

Welcome aboard! Thanks!

Thank you Mr.Steve, I really enjoyed this video. Those are great little balers, I have one & produce about 7000 bales of hay & straw w/ it each year.

[@RustIsMyFavoriteColor272]

I saw this little baler and I had to have it. Thank You!

That lower horizontal chain got loose without me realizing it and jumped the track last year. Naturally with the feeding fingers IN the baling chamber. Then the rammer amputated the finger. But it didnt break the expendable $20 aluminum feeding finger, thats intact; instead it broke the little tiny $300 steel bracket that HOLDS the finger. Kind of like a $300 color picture tube (in the 70's) blowing to protect a 35 cent fuse...

Balers can have lots of problems. I will true the fly by hand several times and watch mechanics move and look for problem areas.

Hay Steve! Just started watching, it's great to finally see what you look like on KZbin!😁Great video so far.

[@RustIsMyFavoriteColor272]

O'Boy.......I got a lot to improve on !

[@so.md.dirtfarmer2226]

@@RustIsMyFavoriteColor272 A great first time on camera! We would like to see a size comparison with a full size bale. Watch out for that mouse!

[@billtucker4631]

All good Steve!!!

[@RustIsMyFavoriteColor272]

I'll do that compare the size. I think that's same mouse Donnie and Wayne talked about. Don't run over that mouse he might bite hole in our tire. LOL

[@so.md.dirtfarmer2226]

@@RustIsMyFavoriteColor272 That's exactly what l was thinking when you said that in the video!!

[@natehill8069]

19:56 tire flat already? You just put that on!

[@RustIsMyFavoriteColor272]

Bummer, I need to re-do. Thanks Again !

[@natehill8069]

@@RustIsMyFavoriteColor272 I swear I need a subscription to tires. And none of them are the same size, not even on both sides of the same piece of equipment! Well, I take it back, my hay rake (NH m256) is the exception that proves that rule - both sides the same. I wish I could get those airless tires. I mean the ones that are airless _on purpose_ , I already have plenty of airless tires of the regular kind...

[@natehill8069]

I also (while working on chain, see below) just discovered that a previous owner had bent up and hammered part of the right side housing flat, apparently to allow him to put a bigger tire (which presumably he had just laying around) on the port side. Oh, well its worked for like 20 baling sessions, cant complain much about it.

[@RustIsMyFavoriteColor272]

LOL. Yeah, Those old balers have all kinds of tires on them.

[@natehill8069]

Seeing this one in the "before" condition makes me feel better about mine. Not a LOT, mind you. :)

[@RustIsMyFavoriteColor272]

LOL! Cleaning it up some and wire bush some the rust off helps. Thank You Watching!

Nice

OK, I give, Hownell do I get the plunger out? I disconnected the connecting rod, and then I figured I could unbolt the 4 bolts holding that side arm that drives the finger feed power chain, but the bracket is bigger than the opening so it wont go OUT AND it is trapped by the plunger carriage so it has to move out of the way. The pictures online dont show them on the same page.

[@RustIsMyFavoriteColor272]

I would think, it should slid right out ?

[@natehill8069]

@@RustIsMyFavoriteColor272 Well, the power for the feeder fingers comes from a chain bolted to the side of the plunger which turns a jackshaft as it moves back and forth, which in turn powers another chain at right angles to the original, which pulls the feeders in and out (hopefully keeping them out of the way of the plunger). That lower chain has a bracket attached to the plunger which is bigger at the ends than the slot it passes through. Did you have to break the chain apart, take that loose and twist the bracket to some weird angle? The parts diagrams show it across THREE separate pages so no way to tell (at least for me) cause the bracket appears to just hover in free space, which it probably cant actually do.

[@natehill8069]

@@RustIsMyFavoriteColor272 OK, got the chain separated and the piece that was blocking the plunger just fell right out after I rotated it 90 degrees. Then I found there is a little doodad bolted into the face of the plunger that engages the side of the baling chute and will NOT let it go down the baling chute. And it is ABSOLUTELY not on any drawing. I wonder if this is something someone added? I think if I remove it the plunger will move another couple of inches before freedom.

[@natehill8069]

@@RustIsMyFavoriteColor272 SHIT! I think you have to remove the knife to get the plunger out. The ONLY reason I want to remove the plunger is because the knife wont come off in position and I think I might be able to get at it if I had the plunger out! Who designed this thing, congress?

[@haweater1555]

The amount of rust on it would be discouraging to me for a restoration. It shows that it has been neglected in its final years by letting it sit outside in all kinds of weather. I make it a point to never let my baler sit outside for one night. Even in the middle of the season if its not being used its parked under cover.

[@RustIsMyFavoriteColor272]

It needed TLC for sure. Thanks for watching !
