LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

How does power unit connect to horse-powered baler?

I need help to finish restoration of this old horse-powered baler. The photos show it when I brought it home. I was told it is an Admiral built in Kansas City, Missouri. Where I really need help is getting a power unit hooked up to the bale chamber, which I have ready to go: I just need some pictures showing how the drive unit is hooked up to the plunger. Thank you!

Need help getting Rock Island creamer to work

I have a Rock Island creamer made by Rock Island Plow Co. in Illinois. Does anyone have information on how it works? It’s free, but I can’t get it to turn.
