Remembering run-ins with Model 33 baler

Jerry Mattson’s article in the January 2018 issue of Farm Collector brought back memories of a former farm kid. My dad had a Model 66 baler, but it was a power take-off model.

I do not remember any of the quality problems that the article mentions. I think that the 66 was simply too small for what we were trying to do with it. I remember it took a lot of shear pins. I think if ours had an engine, then we could have slipped the clutch on the tractor by not shearing so many pins.
