Baler finding parts

[PyroDon]

I just bought a new holland 275 hayliner in pretty good shape with one exception . One of the carriages that carry the fingers? for feeding the hay in is broken . The fingers on this model are 5/8 or 3/4" aluminum round bar so those are no big deal . I might be able to repair the carriage but would prefer to get either a new one or a good used one.
I got the baler for $100 cash its been shedded all its life and looks real good .
Its a wire tie every things moves freely shoot I turned it by hand no slop in the gear boxes every thing moved like it should except the above problem.
Im looking for salvage dealers and manuals for it .
I'd greatly appreciate any insight

most all nh balers use the same feeder you can get it at nh or maybe someone has a junk one it doesnt need to be a 275 i have a 78 that burned but dont think the holder would be any good after that

Thanks for the heads up I'll be checking for any local salvage yards was the 78 a good baler ? I hear horror stories about knotters but really have very little expearience with square balers . Just ordered the manual .
Ive got roughly 20 acres I can bale got and old davidbradley 5 bar side delivery rake now I need a decent mower .

We had a 275. It's just a heavy framed 273 and I expect the carrige and aluminum bar you need are the same. It's probably still stocked at NH dealers. I'm not familiair with wire tie, but if it runs tight I expect you'll need to loosen something, and if its loose it likely needs a tighten. I'd run it and see what happens. Grease it! grease it! grease it! So when you need help that's not the problem.

Amen to the grease I carry two guns on the tractor

Find another $100 New Holland Baler. Merge the two. More economical than new parts from NH.

Cheap?...Resourceful, innovative, and fiscally prudent come to mind, but not cheap. Taking old things of little value and making them functional is a fine art Perhaps check the Ag salvage yards for parts you want.

Looks Like Im going to have to do some driving I also need a 13" top pulley for a JD 38 sickle mower Im sure not spending $400 plus for a pulley when I only gave $19 for the whole mower . If all else fails I guess I'll get a Steel pulley and make an adapter hub .
If I have to I can cut the damaged angle off the carriage on the baler and replace it I'll be glad when the service manual gets here
