mgm I don't know how well the various types of twine work, because all I use is the 16,000' sisal. I don't want or need plastic twine on my farm. Experiment with different types if you want. The twine cutting knives are adjustable, two carriage bolts on each knife. As for the cable, I had to replace the one on my 664 two years ago, but I don't know if they are exactly alike. On mine one end connects to a point on top of the twine arms. As you face the front of the baler, it was on the left hand twine arm mounting plate, I think. The cable then went up and out the left hand (again as you face the front of the baler,)side. If you look inside the side shield on the left side of the baler there will be some small white pulleys, about 2 to 3 inches in diameter. They route the cable up and into the back of the twine box. From here more pulleys route the cable over to the connection point on the indicator arm. On my baler I had to remove one or two pulleys to get the cable in place, then reinstalled the pulleys. On the 664 the indicator arm is spring loaded to show the arms in the extended position and the cable pulls back against the spring to retract the indicator arm to show the retracted position. I found it much easier to unhook the spring, install the cable and reattach the spring. One last thing, it looked to me when I first started to install the cable it was too short, but it will work. If you need pics, to help, I can take them, but it will not be until Friday. John
