TX Jim- it was the darndest thing it run sometimes 1000 bales and never miss a lick then in the next 100 we'd loose 5 shear pins and every time the plunger would be back against the chamber stop dog and it'd be 1/2 way through the tie cycle. I don't think we ever did much more than 3- 4000 bales a year including custom work and swap backs with the neighbors. The dog theory came from the neighbor when his started doing it. IIRC there was a dog on the knotter drive that was pulled out of home position to cause the knotters to cycle. Neighbor put and extra spring on it and claimed it stopped it from doing it. Consider that this particular neighbor like to put springs on everything to take up any play or wear. The comment about the chamber stop dog is in reference to the first field we did one year. Dad was on the road as a trucker, I pulled the baler out of storage and started our first field of the year (I was about 17) about 250 bales into the season it did whatever it was doing, the chamber stop wasn't free and I lost a pair of needles, also figured out why some of the grease fittings on the service diagram weren't there, but then that made me wonder about the quality of service the dealer that sold it to us did before they sold it. I suspect it had been run hard, the previous owner admitted to the dealer that's why they traded it off and bought a New Holland rather than another JD.
