I was out baling today with my 303 and decided to pickup a pile of hay as usual, but then, crash, bang boom!!!!:cry: I need a needle and some knotter parts!!! Has anyone ever tried to straighten out a bent needle? I need the twine disk cleaner too. Someone had told me that the knotters were New Holland. I also could use a new set of bill hooks as mine are worn pretty bad and the right side occasionally won"t let go of a knot. I put a slug into the baler nice and easy, but being it was on a headland and raked quite a few times it was actually a knotted ball and it went into the chamber right as the needles were going home, and it broke the knotter lift link and took out some shear pins, but I did not notice anything wrong with the needle, so I tried to tie a bale and the needle came up and smacked the twine disk cleaner. The needles have never been welded or broken before. I know when I rebuilt the plunger I had to make a new shaft and bushings, and the guide bearings are the same as a Deere 336. I had also heard rumors that AC balers were actually either made by Ford or Oliver, but I know there were made in the LaPorte, IN plant. As far as the needle, it now sits farther back in the needle slot than the other one so I think it needs to have some of the curve taken out of it. I might add to that this is a baler that we have had around for many years to bale a few acres of hay, and I would like to keep it around for many years to come!
