I used a 14-T on my small acreage the last few years. I found one of the most important adjustments is getting your needles properly aligned. Run the baler through several cycles by hand and when you trip the knotters watch carefully as the needles come into the chamber. Adjust the needles so they BARELY clear the twine disks. The book says 1/32 to 3/32 of an inch. Try to make it the 1/32. Also your needles should ride against the knotter assembly. You should have to tug a little bit in order to actually pull the needled sideways off the knotter assembly when they are in the chamber. Also, make sure your knotter bolts tighten down properly. Didn't realize I had a stripped bolt and twice I bent and nearly broke a needle when it got out of alignment. Hope this helps.

Put new chains on the drives if they look excessively loose, and keep them tight and oiled. Keep your knotters clean. Make sure the plunger stop works, or you'll break your needles should they hang in the chamber too long. Shear pins are cheap compared to needles! Check the billhooks for grooves. If they have grooves worn in, they need to be replaced. The knotter may also need new knives (or at least a sharpening). Plunger knife may also need sharpening. Make sure there's still a lining left in the clutch.
