I had my Case 130 baler down to the shop, to get the good 4 hole rim off the baler to replace the flat rake tire. I haven't ever used the baler, just saved it from the junkman.

Never saw one of those in action around here.
Most here were NH.
Beautiful barn.

I have an old (1953) IH #55W(PTO) of the same 'caliber'. It also has that huge flywheel.Thing is huge,weighs probably twice of my inline.Bale chamber is 3 bales long. Can make 100 lb bricks if desired.Bullet proof,runs 50 spm,never misses. Old balers are so cool.

The first baler I remember was a similar Case. The engine was on top, just forward of the Flywheel. Wisconsin V4, with the inherent fuel boiling issues and 2 hour restart time. It was a hand wire tie with seats on the compression chamber left and right. a long tube of about 12 fet in length was mounted on top holding the individual wires with loops in the ends, ready for the inside tie man to hook on the needles. in 1953 I remember it being a real controversy as to its value. There was a wire stretcher in the cow barn to straighten the used wire for reuse. I was way too young to have any responsibility related too it, but I do remember the absolutely caked on chaff and dust of the men tying when they stopped. I think it was used from 1947 through 1954. It was replaced by a similat case with knotter on top (wire tie) 90 to 100 pound bales. Jim

When I was a little kid we had a Case baler similar to yours. Ours had a V4 Wisc and was hand wire tie. A WW1 vet who was in his mid-60's at that time did the tying because he was quick with his hands. I forget who pushed the wire through. Dad got rid of the baler in 1959 when I was 8 years old. I can still hear it running with that slow long stroke.

I saw a newer looking Case baler sell recently at an auction bought around $200 the buyer said he was going to try to get it working it looked pretty good really.I was going to bid to keep it from the scrappers if it came down to that.
I remember the "KERCHUNK" when the plunger slammed the wood bale spacer block into place! The block had grooves in it on both sides so that the tier men (women were smart enough not to volunteer for that dirty, repetious job) could thread a fresh wire through to the other side tier.
The dirtiest job was when parked at a straw pile with no wind, especially good for the pitchers to feed the baler, but not so good for the poor dudes hunkered down in all the debris!.
I have even seen them baling dirty soybean cuttings, everybody was filthy black!

this one is twine, automatic tie. The needles are sideways. The engine is a 2 cyl Wisconsin. My friend Steve got it running shortly before he died. He liked different stuff, and traded a broken JD 14T for the Case, but he ran out of time before it ever baled any hay.
If I live long enough, it would be cool to have a hay harvest day here. I have a NH 311 baler that I use, plus the Case, a Massey Harris #1? PTO baler, and a NH Super 77 that I bought less the engine. I would like to find a PTO/gearbox for the S77. I had my fill of Wisconsins on the old NH 600/610 choppers that Dad had. I also have a New Idea hay loader that needs restoring. And an old McCormick rope and slat hay loader that broke a slat in the first 15' I tried it out.

My dad wore out a 140W. Seems like had to shim plunger twice a season. May have replaced them once.

It would be pretty tricky to doubledeck most of those machines you have, for sure.
Shortly after I got the S77, a friend told me about a PTO S77 he saw for sale alongside the road, 60-80 miles away. I never followed it up.

I loaded behind a Case baler like that. Never liked having to handle bales with the twine on the sides, but that old 2 cylinder Wisconsin ran like a dream. Don't recall any knotter problems.
