You might want to check the bale chamber for buildup and rust. I cleaned my NH78 and the bales don't stick in the chamber as bad as before. I also sprayed some slipplate there after cleaning. Don't leave any hay in the chamber when your finished baleing. It tends to have just enough moisture to rust things. Good luck.Denny.

Dan had some good ideas. I had a NH 268 baler which was missing holes to cauth the pins in the cluth. Also try a good cleanup with a water hose or blower before you start working on the baler.

A couple questions. Is it wire or twine and engine or pto driven. While you are waiting for the manual you might check the knotters/twisters mechanism to see if it moves freely. Have seen parts rust to where they won't move. You might also check the timing. With plunger crank arm about straight up (sho9uld be some chissel marks on frame that it goes between) knotter/twister drive clutch marks should line up with clutch disc marks and the end of the tine bar, drive end, should be between the 2 chissel maks on the back frame. I'd also cleck the pickup to see that it turns freely and that the teeth are there. If a pto check pto shaft for looseness in mounting brackets and overrunning clutch for proper operation and that it isn't loose. Also pull the flywheel shear bolt out and see if the bushing in the flywheel is worn out of round. If it is replace it, they are cheap and will save ya a bunch of headaches and broken shear bolts. Check knives to see that they are sharp and have minimal clearence. If ya need to adjust the plunger you might want to wait until you get the book. You can take the knives out and shapen them though, the stationary one will probably have shims behind it, best to put them back the way they were. Do not put a razor edge on knives or the edge will roll soon and make them dull again. I usually sharpen them then run a wetstone or something along the sharp edge to take off the hair edge. A long replyt but just look it over in general for broken or loose bolts and worn parts. Good luck

If I may, Dan. What you said about shearbolts is right on the money. Learned that lesson years ago on a NH 66 that was my dad's. Just grabbed a bolt that would fit and put it in. Worked fine for a while and then POW. Tore the wad board and other assorted mechanical parts to destruction. Wound up junking the baler because of it. Turns out, the bolt I used was stainless steel. It's embarrassing to talk about even after 30 some years.
