No wonder it takes years to do it right . Why does take so long ❓. Trips to the hardware store ! ? that’s why I don’t keep a log book ❗️Supposed to be fun All of my restorations have involved many emotions , so many ups and downs during process. Times when I just ask myself why? However, the vision of the finished project is a driving force that keeps me going . its unreal the amount pleasure I get spending alone time in shed looking at the old girls that I have done and remembering using them when very young with my Dad and reliving the time spent restoring and the people that have helped me along the way , whether physically or by just plane support like everyone here ! I will say ,though ,that I am starting to feel my patients ,body strength slipping , so perhaps I am getting slower ! Lol tony 3 Quote

I repaired if bent washed and oiled up and had them chromed . I have a box full of them . I used them on this engine , every hose clamp is a old IH clamp . you have to look hard but you can make out the IH on screw housing of clamp . tony pic 10 Quote

Yes, I keep it handy to wipe off all of painted parts before installing them. it’s also what I use on the tractors and the RedKid in keeping the dust off. great stuff Tony Quote
Tonyinca Posted December 24, 2020 Author Posted December 24, 2020 12/23/20 Baler therapy Wednesday , Boy it’s needed with all this Covid crap ! today we concentrated on sheet metal . Does not look like much but fitting these new made pieces matching holes etc , going good till end panel two holes were forgotten so had to remove wire rack and drill new holes . all is well that ends well , holes drilled rack back on and ready to hang bumpers , etc and ready to install auger drive before proceeding with top sheet panels . think it’s a good place to end the year ! I will probably do little stuff during holidays but our plan is to be back for heavy stuff on January 6 , 2021 Merry Christmas and wishes for healthy and a Bless new year to all my friends following this project . Praying that 2021 will be less stressful then 2020 ! tony few pic’s 6 Quote

hardtail Posted December 24, 2020 Posted December 24, 2020 Merry Christmas Tony I was waiting for baler Wednesday like a kid tomorrow morning, getting so close now, enjoy a breif deprive and come back with energy to finish in the New Year 1 1 Quote
Sledgehammer Posted December 24, 2020 Posted December 24, 2020 Looking great Tony! Merry Christmas to you and Carol. Can’t wait to hear that engine run and see all the parts churning. It should be the nicest IH branded baler on the planet when you get done. 2 1 Quote
Tonyinca Posted December 28, 2020 Author Posted December 28, 2020 12/27/20 Post Christmas needed some shop time gathered few brackets from donor that we are missing , installed few little items , made a list of what I need todo on Monday so it’s in the works while we are away for new year. Being this baler has many decals , I put on three in areas that should not be bothered in final assembly . I had my news paper add that I had saved from 1962 duplicated into a decal and mounted it on fuel tank , the two front ones are like in the book . Still have couple more to go on engine and about ten more to go on baler tony 6 Quote

Great idea!! Being , very few of these made and very little promotion articles , I thought it better explain to people that look at her and wonder ,”what are you and when ?” I plan another one on opposite side but need it done to see where it will look best. I need to have the shear pin bolt notice decals made , I got pictures from the baler I saw in Los Banos last month. funny now it’s getting down to the little items that were not important early on but are now . tony 3 Quote

Diesel Doctor Posted January 1, 2021 Posted January 1, 2021 I love the look of the Wisconsin engine. Those ran very well when properly tuned up. But most were neglected, were hard starters and cussed more than praised. Excellent job Tony and have a better year in 2021. 1 Quote

Also much prettier to look at then Hags in DC trying to change our values ! Lol I turned 75 last month so this will probably be my last big restoration project , MAYBE ! Take Care Jerry tony 1 Quote

I know I have that habit. But it only works at the first of the year, unless you want to screw up the year's bale count. Just wondering. Slow day. 1 1 Quote
