Abstract
An apron chain lubricating apparatus for roll baling machines is actuated to automatically lubricate the apron chains in response to the rear frame of the machine being raised and lowered such as in discharging a bale from the machine. The apron lubricating apparatus includes a reservoir, containing lubricant, and a pump both preferably mounted on the rear frame of the machine. The pump is operated to deliver lubricant from the reservoir onto the apron chains when the rear frame is raised and lowered.
