My brother and I testing the IH 46 baler we picked up for $300 at a local trading post. The baler has quite the patina on it, but it had been well cared for. I was worried about the knotters because this model has a reputation for unreliable knotters. We greased it up, put fresh twine in it, and sharpened the knives. Had to make a repair to the knotter trip arm. After the twine cycled, we baled 13 mini bales with no missed ties. It will get a full test during the 2nd cut this year. The old Farmall 400 was our dad bought back in the late 60's - early 70's. We use this tractor almost daily around the farm. We have a New Idea loader for it as well. The engine is original and has never been rebuilt. The thing still fires right up and is a workhorse. We consider it a family heirloom!
