This thing has me stumped, and it's wasting time and shear bolts when I should be baling. The bolts are breaking - not being sheared - usually at the end of the threads. It started doing this a couple years ago, but not this bad. I've replaced the flywheel bushing, since there was a little play. I replaced the shear bolt bushing because it was getting a little out of round. I've replaced the knives. It's NOT being overloaded, the needle safety latch is not causing this... What am I missing?
And I am NOT happy with that stepped, only available from NH shear bolt. $3 each, and a 2 hour round trip to get them. I think there's going to be a drill bit enlarging that hole to 3/8".
