Old abused IH 46 Baler in action.

This guy has posted a couple videos of this baler in operation. I can't beleive he lets it set outside (loaded with hay) all winter and rusted to the point that the plunger freezes and yet still gets it to bale just fine after an hour or so service.

Baler part starts at 1:20

You would be surprised how many people never do any maintenance on their machinery. Run it until it won't run any more, park it, and go buy another one.
 
Yes, my late Dad would have raked the field again too. I think the Operator was baling in the wrong direction on the windrows with the buts of the hay feeding into the baler instead of the hay entering heads first. We traded a #45 for a #46 in 1962 and used it for about 20 years and traded it for a #37. It would miss 1 bale in about 600 always on the one side. I tore that knotter apart one day a found a flaw in the knotter casting that was causing the bill hook cam follower to hang up. Filed the flaw out of the casting and knotter never missed again unless the twine knife became dull. Nieghbour also had a #46 and it was a good baler as well.

There are dealers that couldn't get those balers to work when they were new so he must be doing something right.
 
The best I ever did with my 46 was not miss more than one in ten. It knotted better with plastic than with sisal (I hate plastic twine) but the thrower burned through the plastic.

My New Hollands, on the other hand, worked until they were totally worn out.
