When I was a kid I saw this baler with the knotters on the side of the bale chamber. Anybody know what model this might have been? Sure would like to see one again.

A neighbor had a Case baler with knotters on the side, powered by a two cylinder Wisconsin engine. The pick-up was actually a chain driven set-up. It worked well, didn't miss ties, overall a good baler but it sure wasn't easy to load behind. Had to turn every bale 90deg. to stack on a wagon. I have no idea what the model was and it was sold at his auction many years ago.

early 60's worked for farmer with one, what a pain to pull bales from shoot with hook and load on towed hayrack. I was used to doing this on IH and JD balers that tied on top.

Case 130 and 140 had knotters on the side also.
Dad bought a model 130 new. That was the for runner of the the 133.Hope the 133 had the ' bugs ' worked out of it , as the 130 had lots of ' bugs ' in it.
The company had two guys come and install updates before we took it to the field. The very first time the needles went it , both came back out broken ! Not good. And this was with the dealer rite there. clint.

About 1953 when I was in grade school, Dad got a Case "NT" baler.
Case had previously produced a hand tie baler that had a seat on each side of bale chamber. On the outside was the "blocker" who pulled pre-made wires out of a long tube. These wires were made with a loop on one end, and were pushed through a needle between the bales. On the inside was the "Tier" who poked the cut end of wire through the loop and twist tied it. Needless to say, these were horribly dirty and itchy jobs, especially for the tier who was blocked from the breeze.
The "NT" was an early, if not first series, where Case converted the wire hand tie setup to a twine tie setup. Dad had continual grief with it and neither the dealer or Case rep could ever get it to tie consistently. We soon concluded that the model "NT" stood for "never ties". Dad put up with it for 3 or 4 years and traded for a New Holland.

that was the first one I forgot to add that had IH knotters on it, they bought them until they got their own design in production

It must have been one of these last models stated. It was on a Ford dealer's lot in Oberlin, Ohio, like it was a trade-in. It looked quite a bit more modern than the NT.
