Doug....I agree with what all these other guys have said...get the manual. From what you're describing, I wonder if you don't have the needles in the "home" position?? See if the plunger crankshaft isn't hitting the safety. If thats it, go back and pull the needle carriage all the way up and back, this should pull the safety back, and let the crankshaft rotate freely. I had an old 214W JD baler one time that made alot of noise when it ran, found out the the wear plates on the plunger were worn big time. I debated about buying some, decided it wasn't worth it, I simply pulled the plunger out, welded, and build them up, ground off a little, put back in and adjusted the plunger as best I could, and that old baler worked like a charm. Traded it for a 347 JD, and have always wished I'd have kept it, it was an oldie, but sure was a good one. I may be wrong but I think it was the one they made right after the "side winder" JD. Took 4 rolls of wire to make it work. Anyway, goodluck with your baler....by the way...what are you baling this time of year??
