I just bought a New Holland 273 supersweep. The only problem is one of the knotters is not tying the knot or or hardley at all. The guy I bought it from gave up on it after one hot afternoon and bought a round baler. He said he went over the knotter and could not figure it out. He pointed out a brass ball looking type part in the knotter area that looked to be worn. I don't know what that part is called nor do I know what it is designed to do. This may or may not be the problem so I am open to any suggestions.

Probably to simple but I bought a 273 that wouldn't tie. An older farmer told me that if I switched to 9000 twine instead of the 10000 twine it would work better. Baled the next 400 bales without a break

Scott, I know you want a simple answer, and believe me, I would like to give one, but I'm sorry, tying troubles are not necessarily easy. The brass ball should not be worn, but I also doubt that it is causing you your trouble. Please describe you problem a little more and I will try to help if possible. Again, I doubt the brass ball is your problem. Steve

I appreciate your reply and will get back in touch with you when I have the machine home next week. At that time I will try the machine out and perhaps figure out the knotter problem or give a better description of what is wrong.Thanks, scott

That round ball is for the Knife arm. It should not be worn. Could also be on the bill hook cam.
I would sugest a knotter rebuild. About $100 in parts and I have instructions on my web site when I did the knotters on my NH68. Knotters should be the same.

I would guess a rebuild will be in order. Do you think $100. wil cover it. Do you know of any on-line options for the parts or should I take this to the local NH dealer. Thanks for your info. SF

Sounds like the ball on the bill hook- should not have flat spots on it. Best bet is get the operator manual for that model baler- excellent advice with pictures to ID good knots and poor, and how to adjust components.
