The problem is this. About every time I'm turning while baling, the dog (or whatever you call it)that keeps the plunger from hitting the needles slips into the chamber shearing a flywheel pin. I tried tightening the brake that holds the knotter mechanisim a little but that didn't seem to do the trick. the wheel that moves counter clockwise as the knotter mechanisim activates, move just far enough forward that the dog moves into chamber. While I'm at it, some of the bales are pretty straight but some are kind of squirlly. Is this due to small windrows? Would speeding up ground speed while on light windrows help?

To control the bale density you must keep hay feeding into the chamber. On small windrows you need to increase your speed to keep hay feeding in uniformly. Too much hay feeding in will make bricks and break the string. Bill

I have had a similar problem with my 24t, but it occured right after a knotter cycle ocassionally.
I also tried tightening the brake and even put new brake pads on because mine were worn out. The last thing I done that seems to have fixed it was removing the knotter clutch ring and cleaning it and replacing the spring on the trip dog. I think what was happening was that during the knotter cycle the cam roller would jump over the cam lobe toward the end of the knotter cycle and not bring the needles completely home. I realize your situation is different. Turning shouldn't have any thing to do with the needles falling unless there is excessive vibrating comming from the drive shaft and you have some slop in your knotter drive assemble that is giving way due to the vibration. Check for slop, worn key ways or bushings on your needle drive linkages and knotter assy. Good Luck

check and make sure you have a spring holding that safety stop back. Speeding up should help or you might have to adjust the feeder teeth to bring more hay into chamber.
