Mike got his Roto-Baler home and we would like to know what the little tools is, looks like it may be for pushing/pulling twine, and what the brackets are for and the left rear upright frame.
Any help.
Sorry for the green in the back ground.

the tool is used to push the loose end of the twine into the bale.
The brackets are used to hold a pitch fork, the handle goes in the bottom loop and the fork end clips in on the top. ------------- Unless your are the lead horse the scenery never changes!! |

| A friend of mine, as a kid, got countless hours of exercise walking hayfields using that tool to tuck the loose twine ends into the bale. Would seem kind ofcounter-productive by todays standards. Darrel |

Thanks for the replys.
I was guessing that a pitch fork would hang on the brackets, but could not find anything in the manuals, and the same on the twine tool, just could not find anything in writing on it.
By the way. We made a trip to Iowa and got the baler from AaronSEIA's Dad in Cedar Rapids, While we were there drove over to David Kamps and picked up my engine for my WC that David got for me from Richard in Ohio. So we killed 2 birds with one trip. They are both great people.

My granfather would walk behind the roto- baler and tie the loose ends while my father baled as My brother and I would pick up the bales.By todays standards very inefficient.My father was very good at adjusting and keeping that baler going.My brother and I never wanted to learn how to properly operate that machine so all that knowledge died with my father.Wish I could help. ------------- You only need to know 3 things to be a plumber;Crap rolls down hill,Hot is on the left and Don't bite your fingernails 1964 D-17 SIV 3 Pt.WF,1964 D-15 Ser II 3pt.WF ,1960 D-17 SI NF,1956 WD 45 WF. |
