I read your post on the IH 37 baler and enjoyed it and thought it was some good information I made a copy of it to keep in my books. I remember last year I went to the field to work on a IH 47 that was not tying (don't have much experience on IH balers mostly NH) and the problem was the billhook was holding the knot and it does not have a wiper arm to wipe the knot off but the billhook was at the proper angle for the bale to pull it off as hay was fed into it,after reading your post I got to wondering if this was their problem that maybe the billhook was not facing the rear enough and would not come off and the string would break and of course cause a misstie,ever run into this problem? I never got the baler fixed and that has bothered me ever since. Have you ever run into this problem? Thanks

Tom, I would imagine that if the billhook is a little too far forward that it could cause excessive force on the twine as bale trys to remove twine knot. I kind of think that some of the billhooks that when made at the factory or one of the factories, were made a little off when mated to shaft and gear. I know after I did the modification as explained in previous post, that this billhook was and still is further back (than the other sides billhook) and works perfect. It has yet to miss tye a knot while the other side that has billhook further forward did miss two knots in 100 bales. There is close to a 1/4" difference between my two billhooks ends angle of which I can only guess they must of been made different due to factory error. I figured that this could of been made adjustable if the factory really wanted to. I also guess that if a billhook was extremely angled back too far, then probably the symptom would be the twine could slip by billhook with no knot being formed at all. I think presonally if I had a choice, I would rather have the billhook slightly angled back rather than further forward to prevent the very problem that you suggested could happen.

Thanks, Ray in Pa.
