My brother bought a used 24T JD that would tie if you rolled it over by hand and would miss every bale under power. After hours of looking at the damned thing, we decided the needles were new and closely looked at their adjustment. The needles were pointing up too high and were not close enough to the twine discs for them to catch the twine from the needle. You need to trip the mechanism and roll the needles into the chamber by hand. They should just clear the twine discs. If they don't, the needles are held onto the needle cradle with two bolts. Adjust the needles so they just clear the side of the knotters and just clear the twine discs. Tucker fingers next?
Bale chamber hay dogs also?
Hope this helps.

You need to describe your symptoms--is the twine hanging up after being knotted, or is the knot failing to be formed at all? If the knot isn't tying at all, check to make sure your tucker fingers are adjusted right so that the needles are bringing the twines to the twine disks properly. If the knot is being tied but hangs up on the billhooks, it is probably your wiper arms.

Best thing is to cycle the knotters manually by turning the flywheel by hand, watching what happens at each stage. If one knotter is working properly and the other is not, you will be able to see what is causing the failure by comparing their action. It would be good to get a manual with a troubleshooting section too!

it works when you hand feed the hay into it but when you start moving it with the tractor it dosnt tie. I will look into the tucker fingers.

I had to adjust one tucker blade on mine today. Th knot was hanging up on the billhook so that the hay coming into the chamber would cause it to break at the knot. When the next bale tied that broken off knot would be would still be hitched to the new knot. The tucker blade was coming in too far. I took the nut off over the end of the little rod arm, turned the rod one turn counterclockwise to lengthen it, put the nut back on and baled another 100+ bales with no trouble. HTH
