Dave: I don't think you are describing IH, the first IH mobile, pickup hay balers were bacically a hay press mounted on a 4 wheeled wagon with a pickup hanging on the right hand side. There is also a platform across behind pickup, and from there a man fed the hay to the plunger. I have two photos and in one the wagon is on steel, the other rubber. This model was the 15 and actually was produced as a stationary hay press before 1940, when the pickup was added. It does have the two large gears you speak of. All the balers IH built after the model 15 have the crank driven plunger. balers like the 50, 45, 55, 46, etc. I can remember a trailer type baler, in my hometown, had the two big gears. Could it be Oliver, New Holland, Cockshutt, maybe Case, just thinking about what was around where I lived back then. John Deere could be a thought, their later 114 and 116 had the right wheel behind the pickup. The 114 and 116 are the balers that had the bale chamber crossways and bales were dropped on the left. Sorry I couldn't be more help.
