ford 509 baler

[tleonard]

I have a ford 509 baler that I broke the needles on. Where can I find some repacement needles? These can not be welded (pot metal).
Any help.....I once heard of a baler graveyard somewhere up north???
Thanks
Terry

How old is that baler? The only ones I'm familiar with were the 520/530/540 balers from the 1960's.

I dont really know how old it is. I just bought it a couple weeks ago from a friend, waiting to get the manual from him yet. It runs great, ties well and is a nice little baler. It makes small bales, perfect for the wife to move and feed. Thanks for the info.
