I found a John Deere 24t baler at an auction.
At inspection, everything turned freely and it appeared as thought it had been shedded for many years with little use. At any rate, I got it home, inspected it again and could not find anything ceased. I hooked it up and started testing on some bales I tore open. Next thing I know the needle connecting rod snapped off at the top of the 90 degree bend and the twine on the right side snapped. Has anybody else experienced this or have any ideas? Or any ideas for inexpensive parts for this model? I did decide to put it in the barn and work with in the early spring; maybe try to pick some manuals up. Thanks in advance.

It is important to check the little disc brake which holds the needles in the fully down position when the knotter is not operating. It has two bolts with tension springs which put pressure on the disc to keep the needles from vibrating up and forward, resulting in the plunger striking the needles and damaging them or the rod which drives them (what happened to yours).

On the bright side, parts and manuals for John Deere balers are available from the local dealer and are relatively cheap. I welded this part successfully when mine broke, being careful to keep the length the same as it originally was. Worked fine without retiming.

The advice to lubricate everything and run it a couple of cycles by hand is good.

This happened to me 2 or 3 years ago during first cutting. As AW posted the disc brake let the needles slip.Got a replacement rod from JD the next day. Randy

By the "needle connecting rod", I assume you are talking about the the needle that takes the twine up to the knotter.

If this is the case, your plunger must have hit the needle, breaking it. Your first mistake was to stick hay in the baler and start baling. If the baler had not been run for years, you should lubricate everything, trip the knotters and turn the flywheel by hand through two or three complete tying cycles to make sure everthing is working properly. Now you will have to weld or replace the broken needle plus you are going to need to check the balers timing. I suggest getting an operators manual from your local John Deere dealer.
