The needles may be going home but not staying. Tighten the brake on the needle lift shaft. It may be worn out or not tight enough.

The needles are lifted by a rod that connects to a gear driven trip dog. I believe there is a bushing in that trip dog mechanism that wears out of round. The photo is my 336 with a broken axle, but the lift rod connecting to the needles shows.

do as Roger says. Most common problem with JD balers.

I had the left side axle break on my 336, and my neighbor did too. Must be a common issue?
