So managed to finish baling yesterday, but limped a bit to the end. Knots were periodically hanging on the inside bill hook. Couldn't tell what caused it to hang, but it seemed to happen most when the baler shifted a bit on very minor slopes. Ran it through a manual cycle and noticed inside (right side from rear) knotter was ~1/8" behind the left side. Not sure if adjustment is needed there or how. Also noticed inside bill hook tongue hangs slightly on the cam as it start rotating.
Loosened the inside billhook cam nut ~ 3/16 as recommended by troubleshooting (Page 46). Couldn't figure how to bend the knife arm stripper. Looks like I'll be reading Bill Hook (Page 44) and Knife Arm (Page 45) sections a few more times before I try any more adjustments. Anyway, got ~200 more bales, and now have time to give it the maintenance it needs.
Any insights appreciated. Will send pic next time.
