Yes I use the 77 Baler each year. About from 500-1000 bales. I switch off using the Engine one for a year and the PTO one the other. Use alot of greese and note the plunger woods which is a composite-type. Substitute wood for sliding. Keep the plunger knife sharp. And make use of 7000 Bale twine. The thinner twine you go, the worse it knots. Orignal New Holland Twine is best. Keep the linkage within the ranges as specified by the books. Learn the book backwards and forwards. EBay Item. Hope this helps !

I still use a NH model 77 every year to bale hay. It's a good baler and does a good job, still.. The neighbor bought it new back in the 50's. Always been stored inside. The 77 still is a great machine.

I dont know the exact model my Dad used to bail his hay but it may have been that same model. in the early 50's. He used it as a stationary bailer, and would bring the hay shocks to the bailer with a buck rake, and feed it by hand. I pitched many tons of hay in one of those things. In later years he would put hay in rows, and use the bailer as it was intended. I was young at the time, but seams like the bailer worked fairly well. It did have a perticuler sound when it tied the wires. I would sure like to hear that sound again.

The baler is missing the motor. Apparently the original owner got his hand cut off in it and the family put in the barn and never took it out again. It still had bits of hay down in it. We do not have the time to restore it so if anyone is interested in acquiring it let me know.

The baler is located in Arkansas.

You struck a nostalgic chord. We bought a brand new NH 77 in 1953 for $2495.00. Judging from the responses you're getting I would bet you'll have plenty of help from this website if you decide to reconstitute it. It was a great haybaler and there is an interesting history behind it's development. I could bale ten bales a minute in optimum conditions (free dropping). We also loaded directly onto the wagon with a chute but we had to go slower. No kickers in those days. Keep us posted.

Yes, My father had one and I am old. It was a big heavy machine probably powered by a Wisconsin V4 engine. I never saw a PTO but there may have been one. The plunger stopped to tie under compression so it had a ca-lunk ca-lunk sound that could be heard a mile off when the plunger latch released and reconnected. Most notable wear parts are the rollers on the end of the pickup tooth bars. Good luck! Ed

Yes they made a PTO drive my neighbor has all three models,77,super 77 and the pto drive.My uncle baled with the super 77 with the wisconsin engine, and you could here it all over this ridge.He used a wd 45 to pull the baler and it bent the draw bar.He finally bought two draw bars and welded them together to keep from bending it.I miss the sound of that baler but not picking up the hay.

More on the 77 baler. Dad was almost killed starting the V4 engine. It was mounted high on top,
over the huge bull gears and had a loose crank. Sort of "in your face". The engine kicked and threw the crank. When he came around he crawled about a quarter mile to the house. He had a severe concussion and was laid up for about a week.
A neighbor had a NH 70 baler. This model had a canvas draper to deliver the hay to the bale chamber. It had a multiple V-belt drive from the engine to the flywheel. I saw him many times start the engine by pulling on the belts. One time he was not so lucky and lost the ends of all the fingers on his right hand. Another time he set fire to the baler by refueling with the engine running. He jumped on the tractor and pulled the baler out of the field leaving a streak of fire as he went. For years after that you could see where that fire burned because of a particular weed that came in the burned areas. Ed

I was wondering if anyone out there would know what an old 77 complete but not running would be worth? Thanks for any input.
