You might try to find Kelly C"s website. It has pictures and text on how to time this baler. Otherwise, Here"s how you can get things back into time. Lift the lid for for the plunger (panel on the front top l/h side) and locate the two timing marks if still visible. You want to put the plunger arm vertical between the two marks by turning the fly wheel. The plunger arm should be out the top of the frame should you not see the marks. Next from the back of the baler open the panel just to the right of the needle brake. There are two timing marks on the lip of the frame. Like the others, they may have rusted away... anyway be sure that the tine bar where it attaches to the drive chain is between these two points. If not visible, the pin that attaches the tine bar to the chain will be approx 2 to 3 inches when measured from the lip of the left side. There is a placard in here that should show this unless yours is painted over or missing. Next, make sure the needles are in the "home" position. Pull them all the way aft. Now, looking at the knotter group, where the drive chain sprocket is you should see two horizontal lines. These need to be lined up. Remove the chain and turn the outside sprocket until they line up as close as possible, within a 1/4 inch. Manually trip the knotters and rotate the flywheel until the tying cycle completes. Done. Do a couple of cycles to be sure. When completed the horizontal lines on the knotter group will be within a 1/2 inch or less. This is also a good time to check that the pluger stop is working correctly.
