Balerman saved my bacon with his Christmas gift to KZfaq listeners on how to time a 338 baler. Wish I would have known about Balerman when I tore apart the 338 pickup reel. Tine bars were sloppy in the end spiders but the new spiders were just as worn. Could have left it alone for many more years.

Sorry Balerman, we went out with family and neighbors to eat a couple pizzas and we missed you and your wife. Hope mom is doing better.

Smooth running. And Mom's more important than baler vids!

Balerman, hoping your mother is recovering and getting well, from Iowa.

BALERMAN, Your content makes me happy!

Hey, your mothers health is more important than us having a KZfaq clip to watch. All the best for you and your family

I just got my driveshaft and pinion, bevel gear, bearings changed out, cleaned the chains. Somehow got it out of time even though I had it all locked, this makes it immensely easier than looking at the manual and figured out the bs it is spewing. Will try it.

Hi Balerman. I would have missed you. I like your videos and your religious beliefs!

I remember when I was 4 to 8 years old around 1958 to 1962, Because those balers are so differently built with the thing stuffer arm going vertical towering way up in the air. I definitely remember my dad had one of those built like that. How many different companies built them like that besides international & New Holland? I have no idea what brand he had. other than it was red, & had a motor on it. I thought he didn't like it, probably, wasn't a New Holland, as you painted a picture of it being a great baler. He had trouble with his. It's just so long ago. He usually had everything McCormick, But for some reason bought a Massey Ferguson #9 when he upgraded. It was not one of those that never missed a bale , of coarse my dad might not of tied the the next bale of twine perfect . But it tied pretty good. There kinda a rare those little #9 massey I only seen 1 or 2 on market place I can't believe all the good points you made about it, the Super 77. I Like that little door in the back. Would that make it easier, to change. or sharpen the knives? Like how you don't have to crawl under neath the baler to thread the needles . I didn't know the proto super 77 type was at the end of the production

I seen in the manual that when timing the baler there needs to be a measurement of 2 1/2 inches from the needle to the face of the plunger head when the needle is flush with the tip of the lower bale groovers. Is that measurement correct when the needle is 2 1/2” ahead of the plunger head or behind? By making sure that the timing points all line up, do the measurements even matter at that point?

Hey hey!

Just a thought about breaking in a Wisconsin motor...break it in baling hay, that's what all Wisconsin engines did when they started out new on a baler.

I'll have to tune in tomorrow. I like watching old baler repairs. I'll bet that's as old as I am and I'm 70, maybe 2 or 3 years older. I was born in 1954. How long ago did you pick this baler up?

I got a baler like that. Was going to junk it, but... It's really hard for me to junk old machinery.

Hi Balerman. I'm on at 8 pm central time from Iowa. Didn't know you were going to be on. Sunday 8pm 8-18-24

Jody says hello to you and Shawn

There's bees in there... let's look closer😅

That rock'n motion brings back memories

Im watching but behind in your videos. You guys are fun to watch. What does a roll of baling wire sell for? We used to use baling wire from the sale barn here in Garner Ia to fix stuff on the farm.

Im watching but a month late. Better late than never!

You got the most interesting channel that Im suscribed to. I have an IH #46 baler that skips bales quite frequently. My dad bought it new in the 60's when we had dairy cows. Now I just bale cornstalks to put around the farmhouse in the fall.

Great job done again. Thank you!

Thank you for a great live video Balerman and Balerlady. Love the live casts!

Wonder how many of those Wisconsin engines where built?

I know by the sound of the hammer u are makeimg no inpact

Looks like an old 77

Video keeps cutting out

sounds good, It did get my attention to watching the video because I thought, cool, an Allis Chalmers baler. I looked up on market place. There were Allis Chalmers square balers, for sale! There's al new holland 77 for sale $600 and a 50 t McCormick $450 Those be cool to watch

Dang. Missed it!😢

What do you guys think about using an eight bale accumulator that drags the bales on the ground with a twine tie 336? Do you think it would work or bust the strings

Ahh yes the always dependable 14 T. Many years on a hay rack behind one of those.

50,000 views oh yeah

How do i correct banana bales

Growing up my grandpa had a john deere 214T. It didn't like tying plastic twine, only hemp twine.

Have you ever replaced the spring in the kicker cylinder?

Any instructions in print that you sell and can send me on adjusting my #46 International twine knotters to tie better? Misses about 1 in 10 bales.

Love it! Had one in the day

I for one, love seeing old gear still being used. However, that exposed pto shaft gives me the chills. 🙈

That is a neat looking set of machines!

Could b a jones 13:43

What do you put in the cylinders to free up the valves? My 77 has a stuck valve and I haven't pulled the head yet to loosen it up

You want my mf3 baler? 1 Broke needle and swing arm , scrap it?

Minneapolis Moline

The excitement builds! love to watch old square balers be brought back to working condition.

Mm bale-o-matic?

I have a 24t John Deere parts baler for sale Alabama

My first baler was an AC 302 with the 444 thrower. The baler was in beautiful shape, but the knotters were junk. No one had any idea about parts or repair & it ended up going down the river.... all the way to Oklahoma. Some collector bought it & picked it up on his way through from the big AC show in Minnesota. If memory serves.... the 444 was the last baler model they sold, which would have been from around '68 - '72.

Good looking baler

Hi. Whats the price on the new knotter update kit?

My Dad bought one like that many years ago, but I was the one who ran it the most. Was a good baler. Had electric starter so I could use it.
