I found a slightly better candidate for fixing up than the $50 Roto-baler I bought last year. This one is a 1960 white top with overdrive. The roof is slightly bowed in from someone probably storing something on top of it, and the safety shields over the intake are missing. Otherwise it seems to be in good shape and has spent most of its life inside. I am going to have to break down and get belts for it - they didn't look bad from the ad, but the lowers are delaminating. I must be nuts to put $800 worth of belts onto a baler so I can bale and hopefully sell $100 of straw this year?    ------------- 1939 B, 1940 B, 1941 WC, 1951 WD, 1952 CA, 1956 WD-45 |

You'd only be crazy if you try to transition it into something else, other than what it IS... ------------- Source: Babylon Bee. Sponsored by BRAWNDO, its got what you need! |

| They actually made fewer white tops with overdrive than number 10's. I have some barely used spliced bales if you need some |

That is an interesting point - supposedly 750 white tops with overdrive, vs. 1500 #10s? Of course, an unconverted #10 would still be much rarer. I'll send over a PM about belts. ------------- 1939 B, 1940 B, 1941 WC, 1951 WD, 1952 CA, 1956 WD-45 |
