Looks like a Massey-Harris 701 baler. Side mounted knotters had a blower to keep the chaff from building up. In my youth we had one with a four cylinder engine with four stubby exhaust that glowed red as it got to dusk. Think it was a Coventry-Climax.
Other versions had an Armstrong-Siddley single cylinder diesel which were much sort after. A further power unit used was a Standard Motor Company four cylinder Industrial similar to the Ferguson TE 20, I have the same engine in a Fordson Petrol Dexta.
One year, the boss sent me to turn three rows of barley straw together, with a rake, behind a 12 ft Ransomes combine, on a large estate. He then hired a contactor with a power drive version of the 701, behind a Fordson power Major. I got the job of stacking the bales on the towed sledge and have never worked so hard in my life. The baler was throwing a bale every minute it seemed and as fast as I got one stacked, the next one hit me behind the knees.

Jon's Allis has a small front loader and though it doesn't carry much, it serves his needs. It was the hard starting and low power that made him think it was time to replace the old girl. Jon called me to help him discover why his tractor wouldn't start
