That was a good start - you'll have to replace the shear bolt a couple of times, and by the time you've put 50-60 bales out, the bale chamber will be nicely polished! You can expect some "hiccups" when gears bee sitting for a while, but once everything loosens up it'll run nicely.
Seems to me that those old bales could have been left in the chute to give the newly forming bales something to react against as they made their way out of the machine - the old musty ones would have come out eventually.
You may be right, I know the balers are made to push the bales that are still on the machine, out... but we were a little worried about the pigeon poo that may have caused a complication of sticking the bales... who knows... it is indeed possible that it would have given better pressures inside and saved the sheer pin... hmmm...

My uncle had a hay baler back in the day. I was always amazed at how they worked.
That’s yet another neat ag oddity you guys keep around. Surely there can’t be many running still.
Hey Nellson, yeah, Bryan liked this one too, he said he had never seen one before...
Well, two steps forward, one step back, but hey, an antique that works is impressive!!!
