JUST BOUGHT A NICE CLEAN 336 THIS PAST FALL. IS THERE ANYTHING TO LOOK AT BEFORE I PUT THE THING TO WORK THIS SUMMER? SHOULD I LOOK FOR A PICK UP GUAGE WHEEL? NEVER USED A BALER WITHOUT ONE.

I have a new (bought last year-traded in baler without putting it on) pickup wheel and bracket. I would sell it to you for 1/2 price ( I'll have to dig out the invoice) plus shipping. E-mail if you are interest

You might also check to be sure the bale chamber and knotter knives are nice and sharp.

Yes, a gauge wheel is a good thing to have, especially if you have uneven fields. I have a couple of waterways through a field that I have to bale across. That wheel has kept my 336's pickup out of the dirt many times. Things to check (you'll need a manual if you haven't already got one): make sure the rollers on the wiper arms aren't stuck. One of those little rollers getting stuck can mess up knot tying like you wouldn't believe. Make sure the plunger stop works correctly. (I found out the hard way that mine had a bad spring).
Check the torque on the clutch bolts. Make sure the needle brake pads are good and properly adjusted. If they aren't quite tight enough, every time the baler trips to tie, the needles will drop just enough to pull out the plunger stop and shear the flywheel pin. That can be annoying. . . .

I like the way you put that, "found out the hard way" , man when you find out the hard way it sure can get expensive!!! Definitely get a manual and STUDY it and if it is anything like the ones I have been aroung eventually you will be excersising your vocabularly!! Good luck.

I remember the day we found out my neighbors baler had a bad spring. to the tune of about $500 in parts plus about 40 acres of hay...

My manual says to sharpen the knotter knives but doesn't say how. Do you have to take them out to do it?

to tell you the truth, I have no idea. Either talk to your deere dealer(maybe pay him to do it once and show you?) or go to the successful farming Machinery board. If you go to the SF machinery board, try to post it and read it about 5 hours later, otherwise you lose your org. post..

There is a bolt at the lower left of each knotter that when removed will allowed the mechanism to rotate around the shaft. It then is pretty easy to access the bottom. Small file or stone will then dress the knife.

My 336 has the updated wiper arms with the twine knives held on by small screws instead of rivets. Very easy to change, and these style knives are not that expensive, so I choose to put new ones on each season. However, if your baler still has the riveted knives, you'll have to spend some $ on updating the wiper arms if you want to go that route.
