Hello all,
Baled today "til I ran a piece of approximately 3/8" diameter steel rod through the baler; stopped the baler cold, killed the tractor, and sheared the flywheel shear bolt. Upon inspection, I"ve noted that I cannot remove the plow bolts which hold the stationary knife or the knife on the plungerhead. I could get all but the lowest of the three bolts on the plungerhead knife backed out (i think) but the lowest is obstructed by the stationary knife (the knives are overalapped). I could remove all but the lowest bolts on the stationary knife but the head of the lowest one is covered by the rebar. Any advice from anyone out there who has run into this type of thing?
Thanks in advance...and I thought the rain was bad...
