I was given a MF 124 baler that has been setting for 20 plus years. I know nothing about balers but it seems to be all there and in good shape. I greased all areas I found and turned the flywheel by hand with a 24 inch pipe wrench. All parts moved well. I do not know about the knotters and such and do not know if it is twine or wire. My plan is learn more about it and use and play with it or sale it. Don't know about the value if it is worth much. Would it hurt to hook a tractor PTO to it if all things move freely, just don't want to break anything. The serial no. is 1474-004023. Would appreciate any comments. Anybody have knowledge on this model or those who know about balers your advice is appreciated. Thanks.
