Special thanks to the guys who helped me earlier this week on my baler. One member posted step by step of what to do checking things on my knotter and needles. Another posted manual pictures while a couple others also offered advice and help.
I spent a little more time this morning going over things slower as I'm always on the run and over look things. Removed all the hay, cut all the twine, unhooked the pin/ arm that works the needles.
I could see on the working side where the needle actually rubs the base of the knotter as it comes in line with the rotating disc. The new needle was off to the left a little so some adjusting there until slightly touching the base and then a little more work with the pressure tension spring seems to have things in order again.
Older brother feeding the machine while I watched everything work we ran 11 bales through okay before calling it done.
You guys are a great help and I hope I can do the same someday soon. Thanks again so much.
