britainswomble Posted August 26, 2007 Author Share Posted August 26, 2007 I've just listed an operators instruction manual for the Howard Bigbaler on Ebay just this morning if you're interested. I will post up the link in a mo so's you can look at it. Here it is. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=320151695796&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT&ih=011 Thanks for finding that. I am very interested and hopefully there will be some good enough illustrations that may help with my wild idea of scratch building one. Cheers buddy. In fact it's on watch right now.

If it's like the one I bought William then it may not be a big help to you (I bought one for the same reason), maybe Tim can let us know if it has or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerrabbit Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 I have the manual book here infront of me and apart from the photo of it on the front cover it has two line drawings inside, both these drawings are the same but one is numbered for parts and the other shows the lubrication points. Here is one of the line drawings if it will help anyone who wishes to attempt a build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The leaflet gives the overall dimensions of the baler so it should be possible to work out the dimensions from a picture. I think it's as important to get the proportions right to make it look acceptable. It's very kind of you to offer to photograph it for me, so thanks very much. This will be printed off and kept for the winter holidays when I hope to have time to have a crack at scratch building. I think this is a relatively easy one to try as everything is angular and has no rounded surfaces which are always difficult to reproduce. Cheers buddy.
