TX Jim It's been years since I ran this baler but when it messed up it would attempt to tie a bale out of time. The stop dog is there to protect the needles and it would do so by stopping the plunger from traveling back into the chamber and hitting the needles when they are up, this would cause a broken shear pin on the flywheel. The chamber stop dog is pushed out of the chamber when the needle yoke returns to the home position. When I broke the needles we did find the needle yoke was bent so it got replaced, the brake on the knotter was checked during the initial service call and I think the selling dealer replaced it once with no effect. When it did this- break a shear pin the plunger would be up against the stop dog and the needles would be up by the knotters. we'd install the shear pin and rotate the fly wheel backwards one or two revolutions and go back to baling with out retiming or adjusting anything. Like I said in the first post the New Holland dealer that sold it to use couldn't figure it out, they loaned us a 14T they had on the lot and sent our 24-T over to a JD dealer, they couldn't figure it out and the independent repair shop that used to be a Deere dealer couldn't either. Another post talked about a brass shear pin in the knotter drive, that might of been it but I would sure hope the 3 dealers that looked at it would have enough sense to check that out. It might of been a situation that John Deere didn't figure that brass pin would ever break and never mentioned it in the owner's or service manuals or service schools, this was almost 40 years ago our baler may of been one of the early ones to develop this problem. It was a lot nicer baler than the New Holland super 66 it replaced or the 14T loaner except for this one problem. With the number of 24Ts still out there and the good reputation they enjoy I assume this problem it is real rare or someone figured it out.
