So I woke boomer from his long winter sleep..... to do some heavy lifting... With the move comming I decided it was time to clean the property and haul the scrap from the field corners... Boomer made me proud as he easaly lifed and hauled the IH model 55 baler..and then the old farm-hand loader... to be cut down for scrap...... :hammering: http://new.photos.yahoo.com/graflexmaster/album/576460762321870088/photo/294928804303385858/24 Michael

I plan on using the pump on my '49....and have plans for those nice long rams? to convert the dump on the '49 into a roll-back.....lol Michael

looks huge!
My Dad had a 50 ton worm drive tulsa winch once,
Would have made one heck of a boom truck, But he sold it to somebody that used it for draging large rocks out the water to clear for boat lunch areas
good luck on your cleanup work | | | | | Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 149 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 149 | Originally posted by MJD:

MJD Well the baler was complete....but had long since out-lived it's life...as someone before me had left it sittin and the knotters froze up and were busted up....... as to the vintage, It would have been from the 50's.... infact I still have all the factory service books on it.... Michael
