Ea. Washington | That old baler looks likea Case. We used to call the a Case poke and tie. See the long tube to the left of the guy setting on the seat . It is full of wires with a loop on one end and a hook on the other. You shoved a board into the hay between plunger strokes and it had solts on both sides to poke the wires through and the other guy on the other side would tie them or hook them into the loop. Allso see the guy pokeing the hay into it. Some guys used to poke the wires in one side and run around to the other side and tie them. A real man killer, took 4 or 5 men to make one bale of hay. | |
