That New Holland baler is very old, but that just shows that back in the day, quality meant a lot and maintenance will prolong the life a lot longer and you do a good job of keeping your equipment serviced.

[@dwitcraft]

New Hollands are the gold standard, and the Hesston haybine as well. It would be nice to show them some love and shoot a new coat of paint on them!

[@russorpcom]

There is also the editing you have to do to post (takes time). Thanks for having a good channel to watch, I do enjoy the posts!

[@edryan2926]

Ya sure gotta love that 1958 and 1959 technology! They don't make em like they used to! Keep up the great work.

[@wileycoyotesr8623]

Sometimes what my g-pa called, "deep maintenance" is necessary for long-term reliability. Glad to see you diving into the work. Excellent photography and editing.

[@bowlchamps37]

I wouldn´t mind a series about repairing old stuff.

[@CountryViewAcres]

Probably this winter I will be repairing the equipment inside the new pole barn.

[@briandufty5081]

If you like this sort of thing. Try. Marty t. Or Lord muck. Or Trinity Dairy.. My Neibors have given me some projects. Xxoo.

[@jondaniel540]

Yes. I also enjoy watching you repair old equipment.

[@stevehawkins8066]

Great idea 💡 for more video content. Looking forward to seeing these videos.

[@roblong6518]

Keeping up on the maintenance of a baler is like putting money in the bank! I would recommend to pull the fixed knife and either replace or sharpen, but there should be shims behind one of the knives to set the proper clearance. I have not set any on a baler like yours, but on some plungers the guide bearings should also be adjusted to keep any "slop" out of the plunger as it passes by the counter knife. 👍

[@russellgnuse]

Just going to say the same thing on some baler new Holland made there's wood block that ride on the rail that need look at too

[@chrismann2954]

Also, I would blow dust out outside the garage to avoid the mess to clean up. My dad would have a cow if I used a torch on a hay machine inside a building,for fear of burning everything down. I would have done that outside also

[@davidcharles3131]

It would have been easier to pull the plunger to work on it. There should have been shims behind knife to adjust clearance to stationary knife. I think your baler has bearing on the plunger which run on rails which are also adjustable. It could have wooden rails, don’t remember for sure. Clearance should be adjusted to thousands of an inch, think how scissors work. Fasten grease tube with zip strips, original would have been a steel line. Really enjoy young people learning and working on old iron. Keep up the good work.

[@wesleyhuckabay5968]

Your knowledge of farm implements, how they work, and how to repair them when they break is very impressive. I can't wait to see your videos. Keep them coming. I'll be anticipating each and every one.

[@jondaniel540]

I really enjoy your videos Evan. I like the fact that you are honest and don’t hide your mistakes which, by the way, are few. Thanks for this tutorial. I am thinking of buying an old bailer. Do you think it would be difficult to replace the bearings on the plunger and the feeder?

[@neilschipper3741]

They don't make things like they used to. The old Machinery you can work on by yourself, nowadays the new stuff you have to take it into a shop. We used a hay baler similar to this when I was growing up.

[@erictilley4095]

That was a great video of you fixing that baler...my hat goes off to you for wanting to show people this...it was a learning experience for those that have this type of machine sitting back in the barn...a learning experience...I would have never been able to get where you did...or stick my hand where I couldn't see 🙈 ty Evan...

[@richardcleasby105]

Glad you uses the word supper

[@timmartin2142]

Don't it feel good to work on your stuff in your new shop it's nice to work on your stuff in there when u have worked hard to to get u new shop keep on working hard good videos my friend been watching u from the the start of your channel 👌👌

[@stevehawkins8066]

Thanks again for another great and entertaining video. Maybe next time you might want to pull the bailer outside the shop before you blow it out. That way you don't have to make a mess in your shop that you have to clean up.

[@jda1961]

my dad had one of those but his was a super hayliner 68, great baler, and we pulled it with a 600 ford tractor, lil hairy on hills.

[@briandufty5081]

When I was a kid 8 to 14 I would get inside the balers and combine to clean sharpen and oil grease. Absolutely loved it.

[@sroberts605]

Yikes. And lived to tell the tale!!

[@derekadams9856]

Hey Evan. There is a setting for the tension on the clutch springs. You loosen the nuts until the springs are just loose, then tighten the nuts 1 1/2 turns. If the springs are too tight the clutch won’t slip if you pick up something solid.

[@greybeard5774]

You may want to secure the new tube with a pair of cable ties for further support.

[@coldouglas1475]

Love your farm... Australia

[@TheBaken1]

Just fyi.... A zerk is a grease fitting. A zert is a nut zert. it is a threaded insert that is usually installed like a rivet into a frame rail or any place that you can not get a nut on the back side. Also, I really appreciate the videos. You have really inspired me to get outside and get to work. It's great that you live and learn and share your experiences to help us all. Thank you sir.

[@charleslehrke468]

I had a 68 Hayliner. Taught me a whole bunch of new bad words>

[@hoberghacienda2267]

Just a suggestion.. You might want to put a couple of clamps on the tubing to hold it in place. Centrifugal force may cause it to bend out and hit something. Great job!

[@tbradley4268]

I thought a couple of cable ties would do the job.

[@kenr5523]

Love older equipment like that. You should put something on the paint to restore it, especially the front where the New Holland emblem is.

[@suziqbrown7073]

Nice to see someone finish a job with a cleanup

[@whitby910]

Great video. As someone who is now suffering COPD after not wearing a mask in dusty farming conditions, strongly advise you try to when you can, especially when blowing out that real fine dust. It's your choice of course, but I wish I had.

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Great job Evan, nice to have a good shop to work in too. You folks did well. Thanks for sharing with us, Fred 🙏🏻🙏🏻👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👋👋

[@buctorque4313]

I have barn envy.

[@oldschool6232]

My Grandfather had one. I was on the wagon stacking bales. I got a nickel for every bale.

[@stevengunter2843]

At least you can fix it !!

[@ssfoste]

Evan, What you did in this video was awsome, you are so naturally humble, but you skills and knowledge is so applicable an d it is fun to watch you and learn. Got to love you Garage dirty or not.

[@johnzink3309]

Thx

[@garycrumrine9538]

My grand father had one of these. What a pain. If the engine quit or was shut off for any reason, might as well wait a few hours for it to cool off. It wasn't going to start if your life depended on it.

[@geraldblackwell1387]

Great video. Brings back memories of growing up. Might want to zip tie brass tube to plunger.

[@margaretbedwell58]

That was quite the days work Evan. It amazes me you know how to fix all this equipment and when you're done you have no pieces parts left. LOL. Great job, well done, and that hay baler is going to do a great job for you. Don't forget to have the extra wire on hand when it is time to bale the hay...hahaha. Thanks for sharing this video Evan, I am sure it has helped others who have similar equipment. Have a Blessed day.

[@lovejcdc]

Man I love the old wire tie balers. They sure don't make em like they used to.

[@Drew-gj1es]

Nice work. Hope you get your weather window!

[@harlonlantz4094]

Evan, you are Awesome, great job and another wonderful video.Have a blessed day and be SAFE.🚜👏

[@kentowens2179]

I enjoy you videos. And I respect your attitude to bear down and do whatever it takes, to get the job done. You're a hard worker. An admirable trait. That said, paint that ole baler up pretty, and she'll last for years to come. LOL

[@donf5722]

2nd up. Evan I had a super hayliner 69 new Holland. the old farmer that gave it to me said it was a Cadillac when new. But it was worn out by the time I got it

[@batpherlangkharkrang7976]

Hi..... Evan nice to see you, thank you for showing your video homestead chicken Duck Goose farmer garden 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 👕🐔🐓🐥🐕🐈🐖🐐🐄🐠🌱🏡🎥👍👍👍

[@hankfacer7098]

You never cease to amaze me

[@corydriver7634]

Probably would have been a good idea to pull the baler outside while you blew the hay out of it and heat the bolt. 1) Less mess to clean up 2) If the baler catches fire it’s not in your new shop. Glad to see you doing the maintenance on the old gal, she’s a keeper.

[@larryanglea3458]

what a nice shop

[@teresasmith2038]

Hi Evan and Rebecca, I don't know a thing about hay balling or farm animals, but I love to watch your videos. Would live to have a place like u have.

[@thomasleak9944]

Nice job,you definitely had some tight areas to work on.

[@sledhead1017]

Im new here but following forever.You sir are a craftsman in you reveval of old and precios farm equipment.Carry on regardless!!

[@littlemogocreek]

Gotta say Evan, You're a well trained man. Thank you for teaching us a bit too.

[@OpunktSchmidt1301]

0:45 How I was sitting in front of my screen, screaming: "Eeeeeeeeeevaaaaaaaaaaan! Watch ooooooooooooouuuuuuuuuuuut!"😱 But thankfully nothing bad happened to you or the barn! 😅 But it looks like you already hit the post one or two times, right? 😉 Thanks a lot for the video! 😊👍🏻

[@leol1682]

Evan I remember in the 60's we had a baler with string not wires and the only thing hapen is needle brock in a ditch .it was New holland .

[@wooksnp161]

I used to work for New Holland. I would love to see this baler fully restored to new. A little sand blasting and new paint. Great video. Made me nostalgic.

[@marksimonar1550]

Keep the great video's coming Evan !!

[@d.j.robinson9424]

love seeing that old machinery come back to life. I hope that baler get's some paint on it, and you get two more cuttings. 💚👍

[@letartcircuitrider118]

Evan good job, I heard Rebecca mowing grass in the background. Have a great day

[@steviestevie6868]

Wow, I was 3-4 years old when that bailer was made!! eeeeeeek! Must be getting old now... 8o). Great video Evan, honest,factual and interesting. Big UP from UK.

[@josephbrown-ut9ty]

JudithB I guess we were lucky our old baler ran as well as it did!!!! I dont recall my ex doing anything like that, other then working on the knotter when it quit tieing bails!!! LOL Out in the field, hot dirty and hay waiting to be bailed!!! LOL Great job Evan!!

[@Void9961]

Thanks for sharing Brother 🤙

[@131dyana]

Thanks.

[@terrycastor8299]

Lash that copper tubing to the shaft with a couple of zip ties, Evan. That will keep it from getting up into harm's way. I really like compression fittings. My preference are Swagelok brand, but they are expensive and difficult to find outside of industrial suppliers, so more often than not, all I can find in the auto parts stores are Imperial brand. They work, but not as well as Swagelok. Good maintenance on that old workhorse. It should be good for a few more thousand bales.

[@edadpops1709]

George watch out for that tree 🤣

[@Sword-Shield]

Whewieee when you backed into that barn pole with the tractor...I thought the collapse was imminent. That was what you call a... close call 😬

[@jda1961]

need to check the clearance on the knife, some need shims.

[@marshadodson9683]

I enjoyed this vlog...so interesting. I am a mechanically inclined female...lol. Also, I love your farm.

[@gregj2647]

Very productive day. You’ll be happy you performed the maintenance when you go to bale hay

[@MrTheoJ]

You should ask Rescue & Restore and sandblast and repaint it.

[@jakeschisler7525]

I've got a tool that uses a multi layer sanding disc that uses a angle grinder and it puts a 30 degree angle on my mower blades which looks like the angle that cutter is. It's called a yellow hornet. I bought it online from a company. As you slide the blade from one end to other it will put a nice edge on mower blade and could do the same for your application I'm sure

[@darellsunderlin4670]

I totally agree with Rob on maintenance, and sharp knives give you neat bales which allow easier pick up and way better stacks and that for sure is a win win !!! And that knife clearance is definitely critical, and be damn careful doing it !!!! Good job

[@jimmason5738]

Always enjoy your videos.

[@jimlong527]

Very interesting, thanks 😊

[@bevnelson3678]

Wow just as well you turned and checked the wheel on tractor you could have broken that post.. good to have machine checked and ready to work.

[@farmerjacob8550]

Great video i would like to see more vids about the equipment and a checkup about your new hay filed keep the good work up

[@charlenepartlow7880]

Love your tenacity Evan !

[@davidsteen9199]

I grew up bailing with a similar twine bailer, good machines, you are doing great keeping your equipment working

[@jukeman57]

I suggest you put some heavy duty wire ties on that 3/16 tube. Otherwise centrifugal force will likely cause the tube to sling up and hit the frame, causing it to break again.

[@brucemartini2288]

That o2 n acetylene would make a Hell of a Weed burner😄

[@patricktillmanns3949]

Thanks for sharing your effort Evan 👍

[@realamerican6101]

Hay hay good work !

[@stevemartinez6757]

I could do that kind of stuff every day... if I wasn't in a hurry. Doing maintenance like that in the "off season" is the right way to do it. When trying to do stuff because you "have to have" the equipment running or doing something in the field is definitely no fun. It also makes a huge difference having the right tool(s) for the job.

[@davidloy8376]

A mechanic told me to heat a rusty stud then melt a wax candle on it. The wax draws in like soldier and lubricates better than penetrating oil

[@joshbutterfass5251]

Evan you’ve heard of zip ties right use those and you’ll never have to worry about wrecking that tubing again

[@Tonetwisters]

Evan, you must have produced this video yesterday, Sunday. Great that you got some new parts on that clutch plate thing. Amazing that you know how to keep this ancient piece of equipment working right and can still get some parts for it. That maintenance should really serve you well on that hay field. Hope you get the sunshine! Great job on the video production. Thanks!

[@JOHNSDA2UP]

Great work

[@csnanny1882]

Looks like you have a lot of repairing and cleaning to do when it’s raining and you can’t do anything outside. Take care God bless, Hi Rebecca,when are we going to see some new animals "?

[@CdVWoodProducts.]

im impressed by the lack of cursing. If that was me, there would be a lot of bleeps! lol

[@northrungrader8937]

Thank you for sharing, much appreciated.

[@daviddobson8933]

Put a hose clamp on you grease tube that will hold it in place don't over titan it put an old peace of tube or rubber under the clamp.

[@martykennedy3962]

Another great video Evan. You make it interesting and instructional.

[@ronniewalker2881]

good job man good video

[@jamesrobinson6384]

I think it’s time for a lick of paint.

[@jameshaynie4570]

Great job!

[@terrylandis6831]

Good work on that older toy.

[@made_in_home]

Good job

[@bobjoncas2814]

good one, keep safe....

[@BosnWayne]

Gotta love a smoke wrench.

[@nickmastroianni5557]

You had better zip tie that tubing down so that the vibration doesn't fatigue and break the line. A steel line - no problem but brass, aluminum and copper will fatigue eventually.

[@gladysyousif1314]

enjoy your videos

[@JL_10acres]

How about a shout out for that new shop! Nice working area!

[@jamesmorrison1884]

Good work Evan I know I do the same but I'm trying to save time and one thing we do is clean the machine elsewhere so we dont have to clean up afterwards. I just purchased a week or so ago a tedder rake and you might consider get one. Teddi g the hay spreads it out and lifts it so it dries faster. I also have a haybine and the rollers decrease drying time also. Thanks your hard work making your videos have a great day.

[@danielmccarthy9734]

Maybe try zip ties to keep the brass tubing in place.

[@justgawkin2418]

That's why they called them Smoke Wrenches when I was a kid.
