Well, after yesterday, I would have to conclude that it's the plunger stop activation spring...
Due to a combination of issues, some beyond my control... but ultimately my own fault...
I disconnected this spring while troubleshooting in the field... forgot to reconnect it when I started baling.
I ended up with a twisted needle yoke, two bent needles and a bent twine finger mounting plate about a minute later...
The bright side is... a neighbor literally "baled me out" by round-baling the 800 small squares that we had dried and raked up.
Also, I was already in the process of harvesting parts off of a NH269 that we're scrapping...looks like the needle yoke and needles are going to be harvested and used a little sooner than anticipated...
Otherwise, this little oversight would cost us about 1300 dollars in parts alone.
