When I worked for the local Ford dealer in the late 1960's the balers were made by Long in the southeast. They may have also made AC's for a time after or near the end of the rotobaler era. 532 was the Ford model that Long built, still remember the #, must have assembled enough of them!

I'm pretty sure that Allis built their own balers. The ford baler is similar, but not identical. I've seen a long baler that looks just like a ford. The knotter parts on most old balers are intercangeable minus IH and MF.
