I bucked many a IH 45 T baler, and a JD baler that “threw” bales in a big wagon…… but this is my first time even seeing an Oliver baler. Thanks for showing us old guys a glimpse of the past ❤️👍
@@mikekalsem5507 I noticed “seats” ? on each side & dividers for tween bales, my Dad told us kids how he tied bales @ 2 cents per bale to buy his first car; A 1935 Ford 2 dr sedan……. He was 17 in the summer of 1941 and worked for area farmers doing odd jobs. Kids these days ain’t got a clue what that generation did to make a living . Sad !
Thank You for saving this beautiful Oliver Baler. We need to save more of the old machines when we fine them. I know it takes up lots of shed space but it is farming history. Thanks Again 😊
We had one on our New Holland Silage cutter and Massey Harris baler. The cutter was a pain to start. Dad finally wound up starting the baler with the main belt hooked to the tractor pto pulley.
We or I should say Dad had 2 of the Damn things one on A6 Case Combine and the other on a New Holland baler. Once and awhile the crank would stick and everyone would climb under anything until it came off. Good motors after you got them started you Never shut them off until you were finished for the day. One set for 4 or 5 years. I put some gas in it primed the primer cup and the damn thing run. Dad cussed and walked away shaking his head. We started using a flat belt to start the damn things. They could drive a Preacher to Cuss. 😮
We had a few of those Wisconsin engines on implements and never had a problem starting them plus there are ways to turn them over without that damn crank
those old wiss, especially the clacker-crystal ignition ones, had ignition problems when hot - sort of a sluggish spark. We had one on a slurry pump that you had to back the plug out and let breathe a little as well.
My dad and a neighbor owned one just like it. It was very dirty for the guy riding behind the pickup attachment. Made great bales. Wisconsin was hard to start. Every spring upperlube was put in the intake manifold when it was running to free up the valves. Usually belted up to it for that job. I tied on it a few times as a kid. Well preserved machine.
Those Wisconsin's would draw moisture & literally give you fits. I had 1 in a fertilizer trailer in a box just ahead of the tandems. If there was a heavy dew, any kind of wet, good luck! I finally got a very long drop cord with a heat lamp, fixed it.
To winterize the 4 cycle Wisconsin my grandfather would literally fill the entire engine with some kinda oil and drain it in the spring and then it would start with minimal effort. My uncle still uses 4 or 5 single cylinder ones on grain augers etc. They are all converted to pull ropes. The crank is still tied to the augers lol
My inlaws had an Ann Arbor hand tie wire baler back in the day. Never saw any other early Oliver balers here. The later automatic 60? was popular. That is one beautiful survivor, don't look like it never was used much, as the paint on the bale chute isn't worn off. Dealer hold over? The automatics were out about the same time, so maybe it didn't sell? We had a New Holland 76 automatic, it was on the market at that time as well. Same hard starting motor. Even though it was automatic, it still had the rear platform for the tie person, to check the ties.
I had a Lincoln welding machine that had a vf 4d on it it started all the time. I would only pull it #1 cylinder with the impulse with choke off and throttle wide open when it was hot
You also noticed that no one offered to help him crank it. Memories 😢 Every young man needs to have a special memory of those Damn Wisconsin Motors 😡🥵🤢
Have to agree. My grandpa was an oliver dealer and we had a coulple of those he traded in and never sold. Ended up for scrap metal in the 70's.@mikekalsem5507
Did them Oliver bale masters bump in the plunger on crimped hay , like the new Holland 77 did. They wouldn't bump on uncrimped or straw , only if the hay was crimped
😮😮 that engine sets 2 much w out being started that doesn't help things either the points and the sparkplugs need 2 cleaned and it also sounds like it has old gas that doesn't do no good either no power cloughing and popping 😮😮 OMG 9 28 2O24
Che spettacolo ,qui in Italia sarebbe un sogno una macchina cosi, complimenti davvero per la passione che ci metti
We had two old Wisconsin powered machines. A tree chipper and a water pump. Glad they were both electric start! They both ran like a million bucks.
They were very popular in Australia and usually very well liked

Glad You enjoyed it! Always a thrill to see 70 Plus Year Old equipment still working!

That’s for sure!!! What a Great story from Your Dad! Thanks for sharing it! 👍
awesome video, there was a Swiss Tractor maker that used Wisconsin 4 and 2 cylinder engines in there tractors in the late 1940s

I buy old machines just to keep them from the scrappers.
Yes often the tractors are grabbed and implements are overlooked but they are just as important
My dad and uncles hated Wisconsin engines finally they would use the tractor belt pulley to start it
Yeah, that's what we always had to do. Had them on our New Holland 77 and on the Case NCMT balers.
they were hard starters; we had one on our combine.
Same here.
@@frankwurth5375that’s what we had. Same result.

My grain father also used a belt on the w4 to start it!

Hey Jim good to see you Shawn from Colorado should have been an allis chalmers
I had a Lincoln welding machine that had a vf 4d on it it started all the time. I would only pull it #1 cylinder with the impulse with choke off and throttle wide open when it was hot
I seem to remember these making a pretty big bale.
You also noticed that no one offered to help him crank it. Memories 😢

Those Wisconsin. Motors had a reputation around here for being very temperamental
I think that guy that was cranking that tractor could of hit you with that crank yapping away lol
😂
Impressive 🤩
It was an Incredible Survivor!!!!

Wow Wisconsin engines pain in the
I know the pain
Carb is plugged!
That's cool to see but would have been better to see it make hay again
That’s the plan in the Future!
I can almost smell the hamburgers! Didn't they run Foghorn Leghorn and that little weasel through one of those once?
@@MikeJensen-wo7oh LOL, LOL,LOL
Did them Oliver bale masters bump in the plunger on crimped hay , like the new Holland 77 did. They wouldn't bump on uncrimped or straw , only if the hay was crimped
I hated those arm busting motors.
