Story about my New Holland 67 baler

We were almost finished doing our hay this year and we were on our last bale of 9000 sisal twine. I had a couple of rolls of plastic twine around so I loaded them in the holders and tied them to the sisal twine. After a couple of rounds of the field I noticed pieces of plastic twine laying on the bales as I was loading them. But the bales were still being tied with the sisal twine. I thought we were picking up some old twine from previous years. All of a sudden the baler gave a loud bang and stopped working. We shut everything down and I thought we had broke a flywheel shearpin. It wasn't broken. I opened the hatch for access to the chain and hay delevery fingers and found that the plastic twine had somehow work its way out of the holding chamber, got caught on the chain that pushes the hay into the chamber and then wrapped its way around the big gear that drives the chain. It wrapped approx. 20,000 feet. It got so hot it melted around the gear itself and the chain. We had to take all the covers off the baler to really see the problem. This twine had melted down into a big wad about the size of a frissbe but about 2" thick. It brought the whole baler to a dead stop. The problem was to get the twine from behind the big gear. It was melted right around it and the chain. To free one you had to free the other. It was a catch 22 situation. After working on it for several hours and several people standing around giving advice, I took the sledge hammer to the chain. I was able to drive the chain off the gear and then pry the gear off of its shaft. (took three of us to do this) Then to get the melted plastic off the baler i had to drive a chisel inbetween the baler and the twine. It popped off after a few hits. The only damage was on link on the feeder chain broke and the small shear pin broke. I fixed those two things and the timing and away it went. It was a one in a million chance that this happened. Just thought I would tell everyone about this. Thanks for listening!
