Why is there a letter at the end of the serial #? The twine guides are different than the other roto balers that i have seen in the past.   ------------- 1945 WC on full steel, WD wide front, WD45 power steering, 1966 D-17IVfactory 3 point.1967 D-17IV SC. 1973 rotobaler white top. orange top roto, model 90 combine,82S, four bottom plow.302 baler. |

S Stands for standard I believe. There was a time when they made the Non-Stop and then just your standard Roto Baler. Hopefully someone else can confirm this. As for the twine guides...not sure. Something that someone had rigged up on the baler perhaps? ------------- "Better By Design" |

I looked up your serial # shown 9401 would make it a 1948 model, but that wouldn't make sense with the "S" as the fast tie models didn't come until the 1950s. ------------- "Better By Design" |

The twine guards look factory. It has a little spring that keeps tension on it.

That is an aftermarket attachment. I have seen them before. If memory serves me right they were supposed to prevent twine catching where it would in the standuard guides. Years ago there was a set on a baler at the show in Belmond Iowa. They had some issues with them that day and they took them out. As far as the S I am not sure. Jim |
