Gas is down to $2.94/gall. Funny how saving an entire 5¢/gallon can make you feel better. Do you realize that is saving $1.50 on the big van and $.60 on the small van to fill the entire tank?
We have decided to sell the hay baler and the tractor.
The tractor is an Allis-Chalmers RC serial #RC4201 with a WC engine. It runs but there is coolant in the oil and one of the back rims are rusted thru (as in half the bead is about to fall off). It comes with original RC front wheels, extra flywheel, rear PTO, side PTO, RC rear axle/gearset. It has electric start but the generator and starter are both dead.
The baler is a self powered New Holland Model 66 SN #16506. We have baled with it the last few years but last year with about 50 bales to go the wadboard shattered. We installed a new wadboard and retimed it. Testing in the yard it appeared to work OK, but when we started baling the plunger hit the wadboard and crunched both it and the knives and blew out most of the shear pins and shear bolts. Frame, knotters, body, etc are in good shape, some surface rust. Engine is a 2 cylinder Wisconsin, runs OK. Fuel pump quit a couple of years ago, we have been using a gravity feed tank. Hand start magneto ignition.
We are asking $500 obo each for the baler and the tractor, buyer responsible for picking them up from where I have them sitting at.
