Hello all,
I have found some info on these balers, much of it about what a poor model it is. However, the one I purchased last week does seem to work - ran bales at low speed from a pile of loose hay and even the old sisal (was in the twine box for over 12 years!) ran well, tied as per the knotter specification.
I was wondering if anyone has seen/posesses a service manual or if there was such a thing back in the day for these models - or did the factory tech just have the head knowledge of it all?
I'd like to know some measurements, tolerances, etc., even how much this unit weighs would be interesting.
I have the parts book and the operator's manual (they were in the twine box too!).
Any help or info appreciated!
:)
