I need to prelace one of the rollers on the pickup cylinder arms because it broke. I can't figure out how to take off the old roller and put the new one on. Does the roller come off the pin it's on (looks kind of like a pintel) or is the pin part of the bearing assembly. Do I need a puller or press to switch out the rollers? Since one broke and the cam broke I'm replacing all the rollers.

I noticed a posting asking about availability of parts for these baler. I was able to get most parts (rollers and cam, belt, etc.) but the dealer can't get the finger plates for the knotter anymore, and the belt for the auger (?) and spacer for the baler trip wheel they had to search other dealers and get from thier supplies. So some things are available but not everything.

You can go to the Case IH web site and find parts diagrams and numbers for everything. Just takes a little patience to figure out how they have equipment listed.

Does anyone know where I can get a set of finger plates? Mine are pretty grooved and I'm worried that that might cause some problems with the knotters. Which I'm still trying to figure out.

I bought my baler last fall and have been trying to get things working. I thought I had the knotters working pretty good, while just throwing in old hay, until I actually started baling, then about every 5th bale it didn't work. Right after that the pick up roller broke and jamed the pickup. It wasn't too fun after that!

I have be fighting my 46 for 3 days, I've only been able to get 200 bales each day, I should be getting 400+. About every fourth bale the needles lose the twine or the knotters get bound up. Tomorrow is another day. If anyone has any sugestions I'm all ears.

parts from a 47, 430, 435 and a 440 and maybe some after that should fit your knotters. the pick up would be different, but one from a 47 should be the same.

Make sure the 4 hay retainers have springs in them. They have a tendency to fall out and then it will miss a lot of bales.

The hay retainers you mention, are they back where the hay is being packed and getting ready to be tied? I looked there last night and I have something different. On the sides are serated plates, similar to a giant cheese grater, that hold the hay. Further back I have two sets of wedges on the sides to also hold and compact the hay.

There are 2 fingers top and bottom where the hay plunger enters the chamber. The fingers along with the plates you mention all work to keep the hay from backing up when the plunger leaves the chamber. If the hay backs up it will put slack in the twine and the twine fingers can't grab it and thus no knot. The top fingers are just ahead of where the twine comes up through the frame to the knotters. If they are working you can hear them clicking each time the plunger goes out of the chamber.
