[AT] New Baler

[Spencer Yost]

Could be Dean . (-;

I did not get a chance to do much with the baler.   Had to catch up on the chores I missed standing around at the auction.  

I had a good trip home.   I brought an air tank when I picked the baler up yesterday because I noticed the tires were low.  Without the manuals yet I figured on 30 pounds and off I went at 25-30 mph.  Kept stopping to let traffic by and check on things.  The plunger side tire kept getting warm and twice I stopped for 10 mins to let it cool.   Now that I have the manual I found the plunger side tire should have been 45 pounds.    That would explain it.  Otherwise it was uneventful.

A Farmall super m with a "b" grade paint job and restoration brought 2500.   A Farmall H that was an older, restoration brought around 1600-1700.   The bidding hesitated at 1100 and I jumped  in with 1200.   Thought I had it but bidding resumed.  A ford 3000 that was rough as a cob and "county owned yellow" brought $4200.  I about fell out of my chair.  That was a $3200 tractor on a good day.  The rear tires were good though. Lots of tread  but some minor checking starting to show up..

I will get some more pics for everyone in a day or so.

Ps.  The draft pin rope I would swear is original, as is - unfortunately, and the only knock I have on the baler -the tires.   I don't think the weather checking  in the tires would handle 45 pounds.
