    Chris, clean the bale chamber with a flap wheel so it’s shiny not rusty, puts too much pressure in the bales causing your shear bolt to blow constantly.

    Am 64 I used to go to my uncles farm every summer as a kid and he'd have me bailing for days. The sound of yours banging and shaking took me back, I was always breaking the shear bolt in my enthusiasm and constantly sharpening the knives that cut the string, real string not the plastic rubbish 😂
    Must be over 30 years now since I used a small bailer

    Told ya to get a wagon and grab to get the bailer. Great job, you all worked well to get it going. Grandad looked a dab hand at loading it with the pitchfork. You’ll have to get it all restored then you can get yourself a beaver tail to take the bailer and the tractor to all these old farming shows. Tow a caravan behind the truck the Kids would love it.

    My 1st car was a k reg Morris 1800 similar to the one you were looking at. Them fergie's have a ground PTO , if you push the lever the other way it will turn the PTO when you move the tractor. So you can turn the machine nice and slow, also it'll reverse a machine when you back up. Used to be handy for unblocking a spud harvester. 👍
