I have recently purchased a John Deere 14-T baler
that is in need of knotter work. Are knotter parts
expensive for these balers? Is JD the best source
for parts, or should I try someone else?
Thanks.

Most knotter repairs involve adjustment rather than replacement of parts. This is different than repair of most other agricultural machinery.

Years ago I had a 14T baler, and in a first cutting of 5300 bales, it missed three ties, and that was when it was switching from one ball of twine to another. My NH replacement baler was also excellent at tying. Either one has to be adjusted properly, and the owners manual gives great examples of good and poor knots and how to make the adjustments. I still have a piece of barbed wire that I found in a hay bale, with the knot tied perfectly around the wire- that came from the NH baler.

Based on my experience these knotters are a real problem. 14-T's just don't tie very well. I'd suggest a parts and service manual and lots of patience.

I grew up putting up hay with a 14T & can honestly say that it was a vary reliable baler.Any square baler will miss ties if it isn't adjusted properly.I still have the old baler & use it each summer.We don't put up many small bales any more, Since we went to big round bales in the late 70's.I baled around 800 bales last summer only missed a couple ties.Keep up maintance on theese old machines and they will last a long time.Parts are still available from your local deere dealer.If your haveing troubles there is no substitute for the operators manual.It is very discriptive on noting problems.

Sam, where is your parts baler located? I might be
interested in looking at it.

if you need a lot of parts i'd look for a parts machine. a bill hook or knife arm alone are probably 50 each. if you change only those, you'l spend 200.

I spent $100 on a new bill hook in Sept 1974 on that NH baler, and it still works fine. Buy a parts machine and buy old parts.

Deere is the best source for parts. They have a great web site that allows you to look at the assembly diagrams and to order parts. If you are a resonable mechanic and have the manual you should be able to do the work yourself. I have timed and worked on the knotters on a 14T and it is fairly simple. One thing to check (that is not in the manual)is the arm that turns and raises the needles. The hole in that arm had worn and was causing too much variability in the knotter timing. We filled and re-drilled that hole and the baler would tie all day with-out a miss.

The parts are readily available from Deere. I would have them do the work. Its not that expensive and can be a real pain if not done right

We had a 14-T baler that we had to time occasionally over the years. Dad could fine-tune the knotters because they are the same as the binder knotters he was used to. The needles are maleable iron and can be straightened to the contour of a new needle; sometimes we bent them slightly to bring the twine into the knotters better. Once you understand it, the 14-T is a very easy baler to keep operating.
