IH435 all twins knotter

I have in IH 435 square baller that I got about 5 years ago. I put about 2000 bale a year through it and it has never missed a tie until last year. It was working fine baling grass hay. I cut with a 14 ft and double the windrows. When I switched to straw I cleaned out the chamber blew it off with a leaf blower and greased it. The wheat was baked with a 30 ft platform. Starting on the very first bale both sides tied but the knife failed to cut on the left hand side. I tried to sharpen it with a file and ordered a new set. It stil wasn't cutting when the new set came in I put them on and it still wasn't cutting. If I cut th twins with a razor knife every time it ties the knots are perfect and both sides like ok the same. I had a helper turn the baler by hand while I watched it tie and the knife completely misses the twine. I am thinking the twine disks might be wore but before spending that kind of money I would love me any other suggestions. I was thinking of trying to brake the twine disks and file them down before replacing them. Thanks in advance for any help.
 
Hi, the all twine knotters were so good that I never had to work on one. Usually just change the twine knives and that is all.
If it doesn't cut the twine when rolling baler over by hand that should make it very easy to fix.
You require an Operator's Manual to check all the clearance and timings. If you don't have a manual compare the bad one against
the good one as you turn the baler by hand. Compare both knotters at rest in the home position, look at the position of the twine
disk,the twine knife and the distance of the twine knife to twine disk. Then turn the baler by hand and compare the parts thru the
tying cycle. I would not think it is the twine disk as they usually cause intermittent miss-ties.
The shop manuals sometimes appear on ebay.
