    1/3rd Scale Case Hay Press

    Mounted a removable electric motor so I can make bales without steaming up the tractor. https://photos.app.goo.gl/ym8EkMtFhXruNG4f9 Also finished the hay wagon today. The lumber is from a Black Ash tree that blew down in a storm last spring.

    The bell tells us when it's time to drop in a board. The boards separates the bales & has guides to thread the wire through.

    Ref: Bell Made my own plans, based off a photo I saw online. First I bought a replica hotel bell from eBay & designed the rest of it around the 3" dia. bell. the star wheel is 5 1/8" in diameter. The teeth are about 1/2" deep into the bale tunnel.

    The flat blank was calculated & then drawn in AutoCad. CNC machined the perimeter with scores cut 1/3rd material thickness deep where the bends are. Folds up nice.

    Everything in my shop with a flat surface becomes a work bench. It's a DoAll Metal Master that I completely restored several years ago.
