My baler has a jammed plunger in the fully back position. It probably has some debris between the timber slides and the body. Any suggestions for freeing the plunger ??? I don't want to use brute force (ie tirfor or comealong) unless I have to.
Are the slides supposed to run dry or should they be oiled? If so, is normal engine oil ok or should I use some sort of silicon based product??
Thanks for advice.
regards,
Mark

If you can't get it loose you might try lostening the rails on the side of the chamber. As the other person suggested it is probably "cocked" in the chamber and needs to be adjusted

NH says run them dry.

I always douse mine down good with a 50/50 diesel and used engine oil mix at the end of the season and again at the beginning of the next season.

If the plunger is jamming the problem is more than likely that the plunger is out of adjustment and is too loose, that's letting grass build up between the plunger and the slide runners.

You can use a wooden post or beam and a sledge hammer to free the plunger.

Stick the post in from the rear of the chamber and frail the outter end of it with a sledge hammer. It won't hurt the plunger and is much much quicker than pulling the plunger back with a come a long.
