Interesting. The serial number on this one is 74430, no C visible... But I hadn't ever heard about the factory possibly reworking ones they had and putting different SNs on them until now.

What makes the axle a Number 10 vs. just a later production normal Roto-baler axle?
And where should I be looking at for the pick up feet difference?

Usually an tell a conversion because the gearbox still has pulley for second conveyor

Mikez and dr p, thank you. I had to go out and look at both of my balers again to see the pickup feet difference but I do see it now.

I wrongly assumed the axle was a later production Roto-baler thing, but now that I look at pictures of some later non-overdrive balers, I see they don't have the two square tubes for the stub axles to bolt into. The front square tube position must have been for better balancing the #10's additional weight up front from the extra conveyor?

I have learned a lot from all of you wise folks on the forum. JimIA, the twine knot theory for the dented roof also makes sense. I wonder if I can pop it back up with a little effort.
