At one time, cattle feed was put up in square bales, and grain was cut and tied in bundles. Both balers and binders used twine. Natural fibre twine was the only alternative, but didn`t keep well from season to season. Rope was always handy to have, so many farmers made their own rope from ball ends using assorted rope twisting devices. Eventually, they became commercially avaliable. Here`s one. All cast. There are inherent weaknesses in the frame and they are often broken. The broken part is missing. I need suggestions on a means of repair...
