New Holland 273 still hanging knots on the billhook.
1. Replaced billhook and roller
2. Replaced roller on back of knife arm.
3. Adjustments appear good - enough lift to clear twine.
A couple questions.
1. To decrease tension on billhook, do I tighten spring on loosen? Manual says to tighten spring but that seems counter-intuitive.
2. Does the adjustment on the twine finger plate have any effect? (Pic 1)
3. What about the rod that holds that in place? I noticed it had a bend. Have always owned this baler, nothing seems to have happened to have caused this to bend but it is and my other baler's is straight. (Pic 2).
Should we replace the wiper arms themselves? Appear to run the back of the billhook good and get the correct clearance...perhaps they are worn out themselves?
We are at a loss.
