Hello,
I have a nice old 66 that refuses to take the hay after picking it up. I can go about 10 ft and it wads up in between the auger and pickup needles. You can take a stick and force it in, and it bales a very nice bale.
What could be causing this problem? The inside needles next to the plunger chamber are missing but all the others are there. I fought this problem last year and it is progressively worse.

The 66 is unique in that it shares none of the caristics of the newer balers the others are refering to. Now to your problem. The fingers on the pickup are called teeth not needles and they take the hay direct to the auger so I cannot see where you are able to have a problem there, then the auger pushes the hay for the wadboard to pick it up and push it into the bale chamber, dow if the chain that powers the wadboard has jumped position it will cause a pileup at the end of auger but also on the wadboard there is a spring loaded plate that moves in every time the wadboard pulles back to take the charge of hay in then it pops out to a straight position to push the hay into the bale chamber and that spring if lost or bad will cause the hay to pile up at the inner end of auger and not feed in. I think your problem is either the timing of the wadboard or a bad spring in the iner end of the wadboard. The only needles on a 66 baler are the twine needles in the bale chamber that puts the twine in the knotters.

All this talk of needles on a 66 is confusing me - what I remember from when I had a 66 was that it had a wadboard that moved via chain that did the packing. There were 2 shear bolts on the chain - check them. Do you have a manual ?

If they"re like the ones on my 268, they"re made of aluminum rod. I lost one last summer. Took the stub to a metal shop (modern day blacksmith,) and he found a rod of similar diameter, cut one end square, the other at approx 60 degrees. After a little use, it was nice and pointy! Be sure to use aluminum, because if you use steel, you run the chance of doing major damage to plunger knife if it breaks off. Suprisingly, I found the old one while cleaning up the left over hay out of the sheep pen!

I think you answered your own question when you said two pickup needles were missing. The hay next to the chamber needs to move to make way for the next charge.

In an emergency- which can be anything from trying to beat the rain, unavailability of parts, disbelief that the part is really necessary, or just too cheap to buy one (LOL)- if they are in pairs like on a 269- steal one from the far end to insure you have one at the plunger end.
