Nam baler

[Patsdeere]

I was pondering picking up a NAM baler. Couple of questions, overall how big is it? Are there bearings for the wheels (in case I pulled it to a local parade) and finally what is a value of one in rust condition needing the wood parts (what parts are wood????)?

Thanks a bunch. Don't want to see a scrapper get it, but I don't want it to clutter my yard.

I have never heard of a "NAM" Case baler but a "NCM" "NCM-T" or a "NT" models were made, as to the wheels from my parts book it looks like the wheels are bushed but are greaseable, I have a staionary Case chopper that has te same wheels and I greased it several times but pulled it 50 miles home behind my pick up with no problems, their is some wood in the plunger area for carring/slideing of the plunger, here are some pics of the various models to help you identify what you are looking at, I will say if it is a hand tie "NCM" restored they bring very good money cnt

I agree with bro., that you will be just fine with which ever baler you have. We towed a NCM from our farms (a 3.5 mile drive at road speed with a Case LA all the time with no problems.
An interesting note is the Lit. that I posted here about the older NL Case baler. It was a high speed stationary baler, and the lit. proves it LOL. If a company distributed lit. like that today the lawyers would have a field day. (if they knew what a field day was) HeHe. I like the third pic. with the baler backed into the hay mow with the wisconsin engine on it. Today one spark and barn burns down, Case woulda built a new barn, paid for loss income, pain&suffering, and who knows what else.
I just threw these pics from Case Lit Form #A28453H printed in 1953, and price book 1955.

In addition to the NCM balers, Case built the NA and NAM heavy duty balers as late as 1951. They were designed for stationary use in the 14x18 and 17x22 size. NAPM was the same design only had a pickup for field baling. In 51 a NAPM cost $3300.

Here are a couple of pictures of the one for sale.

Here is what I found in my 1914 Case catalog. I think this is the forruner to the baler you picured, as there is no reffrence to a model#
