New Holland 65 baler wanted.

[Classichay]

Please god that advert didn’t say in good working order did it? That machine has had its knotters removed, and very rusty

You have a sharper eye than me
And to be fair I didn't want to be the one to pi$$ on his bonfire
But on the bright side if he buys the one of Facebook he will have one for spares

To be honest I did not like pointing out the issues but sometimes it is kindest to be blunt.
Realistically the only good thing about that one is the paintwork

I know where you coming from but I’m becoming battle hardened as my wife shakes her head in disbelief almost every time she passes the thing.

He did have a NH65, but he's just sold it .............

I think it's the group our very own @carbonfibre farmer set up.

Is this the relic you bought

 

[Rotindle]

Is it raining down there? The bent and twisted nh 65 I bought with a drum mower resting on top of it isn’t a patch on yours but it shares the same beautiful durability of its engineering. Nothing has yet snapped or sheared or bolts de-thread or and every day reveals an integrity that simply shames my modern flail mower that has given us the ghost fifty years too soon. Hopefully with a bit of luck I will be able to share with you a video of us baling. Fingers crossed.

Just about to order new roller bearings for the feeder finger carriage for the 65. Old ones look like wood but wondered if a more modern material would work.

Looked at Messicks in US offer two types

Bearing, Wood;Used On & BSN 5200.

Bearing, Phenolic, Roller;Used On & ASN 5201

What’s the difference?

Would you know if the knotters on the 65 are exclusive to the model or is their commonality with other balers in the NH range? I have seen a wreck of a 65 but with missing knotters. Thanks

I have a spare knitter off a NH 65E.

Many thanks Mike. Since my original post I have actually bought a 65e which is complete though I’m sure the knotters would also fit the 65. I’m holding fire on the refurb of the 65 as I m trying to gather all the parts before starting. It’s missing a difficult to find side panel and pto assembly and nose cone which together might cost more than buying a complete machine. So I’m holding fire for the moment and waiting to see what comes up. Thanks again though.
