A problem occured with My New Holland 268 Baler, everytime the Knotter completes tying the knot it shears the shear pin.I did not notice any visible reason of why this is occuring, I did notice at the time the knotter completes the knot the plunger is 3/4 of the way back and thats when it locks up and snaps the pin.I know my way around the baler pretty well but this time it has me stumped, any ideas or opinions on how i could fix it would be greatly appreciated.

I sort of had the same problem with my 67. Chances are your knotter is out of time with the baler. Sounds like it is tieing too late and the plunger is hitting the safety latch on the way back. If you have a manual for the baler, it should tell you how to time the knotter. Solved all my problems, hopefully will solve yours too. Good luck Brandon

Exactly!

And if he tries to bypass the safty latch, the needles will be broken off....

Get it timed. It is very hard to properly describe in words; get a manual & follow the pics & words there.

Timing might be the problem, but for whatever reason, the plunger stop is getting in the way of the plunger when the needles are in the bale chamber, protecting the needles from being broken by the plunger. Another possible reason is lack of lubrication of the linkage of the plunger stop. There are TWO zerk fittings on a vertical pivot between the flywheel and the bale chamber- part of the linkage. Make sure both are taking grease. They are accessed on the left side of the baler, about a foot? behind the flywheel. One is above, and one below, the flat steel member welded to the pivot.

You know, I don't think I grease mine often - thanks for the reminder!

There could be something slipped or damaged in the arm/roller/ needle cradle that is causing the problem too, not just a timing issue. I just had that on my 270 - when eating a big windrow, it would ping on the safty latch, barely catching it once in a while. I moved the roller stop about 1/16" of an inch (all the adjustment that was left) and it works fine again.
