Looks like either a Farmall Cub (U-1) power unit or a Continental Y-69 power unit; both were used by International Harvester on their balers. Great sounding engine!
wow....the flat river antique engine and tractor club eh? i was just looking at balers and bam...yall pop up. I live on the flat river myself. Are these the guys that have the show up at that one park every year?
Have you ever been to old tractor meets? There are some in my area. It is sort of like other gearhead networks. Best thing to do would be to find a get-together and start picking their brains. Good luck.
i have the same motor same sheet metal, mine is a iy69, 68.7c.i.,21 hp,2.5" bore, flathead 4cil. continental motor, with the flatbelt pulley. mine still runs and is for sale.
This is what was known as a "stationary baler"-- you bring the hay to it. Hand tied w/wire, not twine. I believe I remember my dad saying that earlier ones were horse powered. Primitive stuff but fascinating nonetheless.
My great uncle invented one of these 1921 Paul Bonnafoux Patent.
super cool you guys thanks for sharing

I've got one that is still operational like that one. Mine doesn't have the engine on the front. I run it with a Farmall M or Super C.
This was a normal days work for these young men back in their day. What a great generation.
Cody & Brooke Hanson what is the price of this machine?
I got one of these that still works. It's a John Deere. I got the blocks, punch wire and belt. Sulky rake too.
