- This part 2 of trying out this old baler, baling hay for the first time. The plunger is still a bit stiff so we could not go really fast. We did not bale much as the wire grippers were rather worn and we kept missing bales.
This baler is a McCormick-Deering No. 50-AW Pickup Baler. Powered by a International Harvester, Cub tractor engine. By the engine code this is a 1952. This is a wire baler, the twine version was a 50-T. I do believe that these were made from 1944 to 1952, so this one was on the tail end of things.
I picked up this old haybaler at a local tractor show, the Threshermans Reunion in Pontiac, Ill. It was in the traders row, a local scrap man evidentially brought it in. I am glad he thought it was too good to junk. It was in good looking shape, not all rusty, engine free, plunger was about stuck in place. It looked like it had not run in, who knows 30 + years. Well don't know if I got took but $575.00 later it was mine.
It does not have an electric start so we had to hand crank it. Please check my other videos for more on this baler. The part 1 video got lengthy as it just did not want to start.
I hope you all enjoy.
My Dad used a new Holland 77 baler with a Wisconsin engine in the 50's and 60's . I'm 70 years old. Brings back fond memories.
Great video. It's so neat to see older machines still getting the job done. Thank you very for sharing your video.
I operated a baler like that when. I was 14 years old I worked great. Never missed tied a bale
My father had one of those in Oz---used it in the fifties and sixties and I can remember carting bales out of the paddock that had been pressed by that machine then it sat for 30 yrs in a machinery shed until a local vintage machine club was formed so it was donated to them and they restored it..The restoration was extremely pleasing to see...
Preserving old farm equipment gives us nostalgia lovers something to enjoy and appreciate. Takes a lot of patience and dedication to keep balers this old functional, are there very many people who collect old machinery as a hobby.?
I had the pleasure of stacking bales from these old BEASTS when I was old enough to lift a bale. There were NO slackers on our farm .... and I can assure you ... this was WORK. They used to call these things MAN KILLERS and I'm sure I don't need to explain why.
Ive bailed hundreds of loads of hay & straw with an International McCormick bailer just like that one, i remember starting it when i was a kid, funnest times of my life....except we used twine ..

My neighbor had one of these when I was a kid. It had an unmuffled Wisconsin V4 on it, and the whole neighborhood knew when Jackie McCoy was balin hay!
I like that your helper was wise enough to keep a few bales on the front of the wagon. I always put the first 4 there to help hold the front down so when i start stacking at the back they wont get bounced loose and off the wagon. Whole load stays tighter
Awesome . I have one just like it sit n back I the woods . Never saw it run. I didn't want to scrap it when I was cleaning out junk a few years ago. One of my neighbors put the bug in my ear to save it before he pasted away a few years ago . And I did save it. Some day I would love to see it run again. Thanks for posting it.

Brought back a lot of memories my grandfather had a set up just like that. As a matter of fact I have his B tractor. Didn't think of it at the time but watching the pulleys and belts spinning it's amazing no one get injured!
Watching these old machines is entertaining and I enjoy watching them come to life and do the job they were designed to do!
We used to have a 55T that we inherited from my grandfather, an slightly newer twine model, with the same Cub motor. Grandpa pulled it with a W6, we pulled it with a MH 44. It was our main baler up until 1983, when it was replaced by a MF #10. Yes, we were very "progressive" farmers back then - LOL.
Great to see the old girl out in the field. The sights and sounds bring back many memories. On of my main memories of this baler was greasing it - there were literally hundreds of grease fittings on this thing!! I swear I found 10 more every time I greased it!!
Thanks for sharing!

Makes a nice bale. Well it's old and doesn't have much feeling left in her wire fingers. Thanks for the video.
This is the same style of baler my dad had. Once he retired my brother kept on using it on his farm. I spent a lot of days on an IH M pulling it around the steep sand hills just north of his farm. Biggest draw back was the engine driven system. If you over filled the pick up there was no way to shut it down quickly before it plugged up like you could with PTO drive. The big flywheel had a sheer key on the shaft and to replace meant completely removing the flywheel and turning or replacing the key. I would sometimes come down one of the steep sand hills standing on the brakes with both back wheels on the tractor locked and sliding along anyways. Ours used twine instead wire to secure the bales.
Very good we've used one like it back in the day , shear bolt's occasionally but, still OK 🍻🍺🌏👍brought back good memories thank you Allen
My dad had one of those when I was a kid, The baler worked fine , had trouble getting engine to start if it was warm, our used twine, brings back memories
That is amazing.. Thanks for uploading that.. My dad grew up in the early 50s so this said a lot.
I like old machines and this is a splendor
Good to see the older equipment still running
Thank you so much for sharing that.
This brings back many old fond memories. Back about 1960, I remember my uncle's peanut combine. It was pulled by a small tractor, if I remember right it was a John Deere 420. I think that the combine was a Lilliston. I do remember for sure that it was powered by a Wisconsin V4. 40 HP I think.
great to see an old machine like this still able to work.

Had one in 1961, pulled with a 44 massey. Charged 15c per bale to cut, rake and bale. Owner furnished all labor.
I love that! RED POWER THEN...RED POWER NOW!
I don't think I have responded to you on this but if I did I am sorry.
I rode this baler with twine boxes on each side with a tricycle setup back in the late 40's as a kid.
sat on the left side twine box and tied knots that it missed and there were lots of them.
The wire must have been before me or in another part of north america but the 4 cylinder wisconsin motor was great.
I live in Ontario Canada. great video of the old machines of long ago.

Part of my history. Operated one of these on our farm back in the 1950s.
I spent a lot of Summers behind one of those string presses. Awful Dusty but they sure would make hay.
i liked the way your helper sorta flinched helpin it to start lol
i grew up with a baler like that one, my father did custom baling! we used it till the plunger wore a hole through the bottom! we then got a New Holland 268 brand new in 1968 or 69

The old girl still packs a nice bale. Thanks for the vid.
We had a twine model and pulled it with a W6 tractor. Great baler when they were adjusted right they like to break shear pins.
Nice baler it makes pretty good looking bales too!!!
Think I remember a very similar one in the U.K. with a Coventry Climax engine. Same motor as used in fire brigade water pumps.
Still up to date machines are functional it's great
Great video, thanks for sharing.
this was great. thank you for posting!
Nice old baler!
That just reminds me of a whole lot of work.
Dad and I used to bale hay with a baler very similar to that one.
love it. lots of fun.
We had the twine model when I was a kid back in the early Jurassic period :-) It was great because we could pull it with a Farmall H. Haven't seen many B's over the years, so it was interesting to watch yours in action. They must not have made many of them, eh? Our baler used to slip the belts regularly and we'd have to re-adjust the tension. Only my Dad could do it; you had to have the magic touch! Thanks for posting.
This haybaler may be slow, but it gets the job done, some farmers dont have the luxury to buy newer equiptment so you have to make do with what you have
Spent a lot of hours baling with this model, usually pulled by a Farmal H or M tractor. Worst job was rethreading the needles when you ran out of wire.
I know where there's one of these laying in a fence row, Just might have to go see if I can buy it & get it working again!
I bet many farmers under the age of 60 know how to properly stack a load of bales on a wagon or in a barn. I also learned to shock oats and load oat bundles because of my late neighbors who still had a thrashing machine when I was in my early teens.
Meant to say don't know
Nice outfit! I have a b-n like seeing older equipment.
Could you please make more videos i really enjoyed them.
Picks up well, nice
We had one used it until about 1963 dad bought a 46t. One guy asked about converting from pro these didn't have a pro option 55 and 45 had that option
my neighbor had a baler very similar to this one.
Oh how many stooks have I made behind a Cub And rock picking , I still have a oil bath ,pipe and cage for the cub yet .
My Dad had onea those, then 55-T!
I have never seen a baler with its own engine in Europe (or tractors with a narrow front or with a gas engine).
Wow, amazing history.
This is how you sale old stuff...... "We have video of us working Old girl..... See it still works"
I guess you can use a small tractor to bale if the PTO does not need to be used.
That Cub probably would die if it had to pull that up any kind of a hill. And it would be hard to stop that much weight going down a hill. Good thing that was a relatively flat field.
It's a cub power unit on the baler. The machine pulling is an H, which would absolutely haul it all up a hill.
No. Just NO. That is NOT an H at all, not even close. An H is MUCH bigger. I've owned an Super H and M and my mom had an A. And actually, I believe the tractor is a Farmall A, NOT a Cub. A's had the light mounted low on the grill as this one does, Cubs had them mounted up high. And I wouldn't pull a baler and wagon on any sizable hill with anything less that an H. You need braking power to handle that much weight.
Turn your audio on. It's his sister's B- Says so at 0:14
Bet that B was light in the front end lol
Notice he is on a nice level meadow. That BN wouldn't Handel that monster on much of a hill.
pretty neat. I've not seen that kind of setup before. How much fuel does the cub run?
direi optimo !
grandpa was really smart
cool!
James Pl
Cool, but what happened to cab on the pull tractor?🤪 it's missing. Everybody knows you can't bail hay without a cab tractor!
Very neat baler.
So when it plugs does it choke the engine? There is no way to shut it down in a hurry from the tractor, right?
Flat belt driven so belt would slip. Good idea not to have the belt over tighten when running. But even when all was adjusted "correctly" a large lump of hay could get in, plug up the baler and stop the engine right now.
The one I grew up with had a shear pin in the big wheel. My father kept a bunch of valve things that he would put in the hole, he said they wouldn't shear so often.
Oops, misread the title, I thought you were talking about the tractor.
Looks like you could hurt yourself real bad 50 ways on that thing.
wow
Do you still have this baler? Is it for sale?
T=up
The header says "Farmall CUB", not. That is a "Farmall B".
Tom Riggs the Tractor is a B
the engine on the baler
Avec tous les soirs sans exception. Soupe au lard
Hi nice vídeo,l would like TO know the model ...
Fatiguer mais tellement. Plus heureux,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
ahh what a great day baling
Wanhan liiton tekniikkaa.....
Modern equipment isn't going to last as long as the equipment of 1970 and before. To much electronics and plastic.
That is a Farmall B, not a cub.
had a farmall b sold for 650 just could mot fid any use for it
It just need adjustment. Call 607-846-5959 they work on IH wire tie balers often.

first of all: no signs of farm safety. you should make a cover for all those belts cause you don't want to lose a leg and second of all, we would be able to do that crop in second high with our ap45 welger
Or you can not be stupid and keep your hands and legs out of the belts.
In the days of that baler there wasn't much for farm safety
ya gotta see his profile pic is animated
The Pilot Penguin first of all this is a baler that is 65 year old baler. 2 people back then had common sense second the dumb ones were weeded out quickly doing stupid stuff
The Pilot Penguin they didn't have safety devices back then farm safety has shut down most of our needed farmers its called common sense common sense is free farm safety costs millions of unnecessary spending why can't you liberals just let us hard working Americans do our job and you can sit at home and collect your Obama check that Trumps gonna take from you for being a dumb ass go sit in your safe corner and cry to mommy and btw e logs can be cheated just like paper logs which cost companies millions to install e logs which lowered trucking pay see how that works running paper logs pay more stupid liberals always trying to reinvent the wheel
It's shit crap and a slow pice of garbage
+Dale Brown You clearly know nothing of farming history so just slink back off to your hole ok Dale?
Agree
Go rake it by hand then lol this is an awesome machine and your clearly unintelligent so no further arguing required
Dale Brown or whoever you are this baler was part of my life back all most 70 years ago and it was not a piece of garbage at that time it was something that came out to help farmers in that time to work their crops.
As a young kid this bailer was not wired at my time of life it was twyn and as a young kid I used to ride the twyn box on the left side and when it missed knots I tied them. Back then it was new technology at that time of life.
It was back in the late 40's to early 50's.
Awesome . I have one just like it sit n back I the woods . Never saw it run. I didn't want to scrap it when I was cleaning out junk a few years ago. One of my neighbors put the bug in my ear to save it before he pasted away a few years ago . And I did save it. Some day I would love to see it run again. Thanks for posting it.
