I baled hay with that a couple times when I did not have help. It works fine. There is a brake on the steering wheel shaft so when you are going straight there is time to take the bale to the back of the hay rack and get back to steering before you get too far off the windrow. I still have all the parts and JD 116W baler, but the Wisconsin is stuck. That's my Dad and big brother in the picture. My Dad made several things around the farm to make life easier. He made a cable winch barn cleaner that could slide 1 or 2 cows worth of manure down the gutter and up a chute into the manure spreader. Where the cow would stand in the gutter it was all I could do to get one cow's worth moving. He mated a JD LUC motor from Grandpa's old block baler to a JD speed jack into one unit to power an old JD elevator. It also powered a hay hoist to unload the hay wagons 8 bales at a time pulling them with the forks up and dropping them into one of three hay mows. A cable or rope reel with a brake type clutch powered through a 4 speed transmission powered by the LUC and speed jack. One time the hay went up and into the barn extra fast and we were firmly told NOT to play with the transmission! It was mounted on a skid and staked down at one of 2 barns. He died at the age of 52 when I was 15, my brother was 19, and my sister was 13. I can not tell you how sad we were and what our future was to be. My Mom had to be put into a nursing home the following year and we hung onto the farm until I could buy it when I was 19. My brother and sister have done well in their lives also.
The tractor is a 1946 A sitting in my shed and it runs fine. Dad purchased it new when he came home from WWII. The belt pulley on the fly wheel ran a hydraulic pump for live power. It was also used on a 1929 JD D, and also on a 1935 JD b for our loader tractor.
He also built the 2 end spans of a 3 span iron bridge with a little help from my brother and I. He died before we poured concrete for the floor so he never got to use it. It still stands on 4-16 piers, but the retaining wall got washed out in 1993 when we had 10 floods in June. The cows had some pasture to get to across the creek. They preferred the bridge to going down to the creek and walking across the chunks of rock and concrete Dad had put into it over the years. A concrete mixer truck went across it with no trouble. On both ends of the bridge the cows paths merged into a single lane and the spread out again at the other side.
