Well, I had showed you guys a bunch of pictures of the before/after cleaning of my New Holland 66 Baler... Well I took it into town to a local shop (good friends of ours) and had the guys look the machine over to see if it would be useable. Well, the general thought was that they would do all of the work for me for free, but I would still dump a grand or more into it... Soooo I came up with a new plan..
This morning I went out to the meadow and drug the 68 Hayliner up to the shop.. Dad and I spent a good couple of hours cleaning it up, and after a little work have ALMOST got it turning freely. Everything moves when you turn the flywheel, teeth, needles (were tying a bale when parked) etc... I am going to put my good engine on it tomorrow and fire it up to see how it does, what should I watch out for??
My plane is to sell the 66 and use the money to rebuild/fix the 68. Which is the better baler? I know that the 68's have a bad reputation for banana bales, but that can be fixed with adjustment right?? I would like to know you guys honest opinion on which is the better baler...
Let me know what ya think?!?! Bryce
