I agree with all your suggestions, I use a 14t, myself every year, and you can bale dry hay, I have done it just to get it out of the field, I cant stress buying a book, I risked last year for 1/2 the season, tweaking it,, and got lucky, make sure the timing is set (very easy), and eveything is greased,, my problem was a little (very little) surface rust on the bill hooks not tying too good, and one cotter pin,, it works great now.. also one more suggestion you may check is the make sure the knife on the plunger is sharp, that could be your problem and also break a lot of shear pins. DO NOT, DO NOT, put a heaver shear pin, in,, find out where the bind is... take a grinder and sharpen the knives,, that is very important to cut the hay to in the chamber,... a 14t, is a great baler, (little small) but JD uses the same knotters for the last 30 years....I have had offers to sell mine just for parts for thier 336 etc.. good luck
