slip clutch MW 1500

I've been running my MW 1500 round baler this
evening-- worked fine at first but the last few
bales the slip clutch kicked in when there really
didn't seem to be much hay in the baler-- about
half of what I normally put in there. It was dark
so I haven't had much chance to do a lot of
trouble shooting but of course need to get the hay
baled. Nothing in the manual about adjusting the
slip clutch-- in the past when I got too much hay
in the baler, I was able to lower the rpm and get
it to turn to put the twine on-- now the slip
clutch won't allow that. (I have a few half-bales
with no twine on them out there) Is there
possibly a way to adjust or maybe the slip clutch
is worn and I should start calling salvage yards?
We're pulling out the square baler now (for the
morning) but if anyone has some insight... Thanks
 
Get an oil leak on the slip clutch? I had that, had to take the slip clutch apart and cook it out with brake clean and a torch, that's probably not approved and should have bought new discs, but it wasn't sure I was finding the leak so had to start cheap without running through many discs......

That makes sense and I was heading out today to try to clean up the slip clutch but realized that something had gotten messed up with the tension on the door on one side-- it wasn't closing properly-- sensors don't work-- With one side of the door slightly open-- something I didn't notice in the dark-- the slip clutch was kicking in. Readjusted and baled. Thanks for the help.
