[AJD] Binder

[Scott_Manlove at Hill-Rom.Com]

Richard,

I have a early '20's  "The New John Deere Light Running" binder 6 foot 
cut.   It's a wonderful machine.  Every time we get it out I look forward 
to the sights and sounds that it produces.

I'm in my late 40's.  I had never seen a binder run until I purchased this 
one.   The education obtained from the seasoned operators of this type of 
equipment is priceless.  A 90+ year old neighbor enlightened me to wax the 
sheetmetal areas near the knotter with the wax from the wheat or oat 
stocks. He also introduced me to the art of shocking.   Other older 
gentlemen have requested to cut wheat "one more time". 

As far as whether they are a "good" machine,  the first year that we 
played with it we cut 6 acres of extremely heavy oats.  It missed 6 
bundles. This is my favorite antique machine.

Good luck,
Scott

  Happy Holidays everyone!!
Have been looking for several years now at a team pulled JD grain binder. 
It is complete.  Wondering if anyone on the list has any experience on one 

and are they a good working machine?

TIA,
RickinMt.
