Hi Carl
I too own a #10 that refused to tie.
I have the knotters in pieces right now waiting for new twine fingers.First of all, do both knotters mistie?
If only one ties, you can use the one that works as a model for adjustments.
There are a number of problems of why they wouldn't tie. It is incredibly helpful to have somone turn the flywheel over by hand and trip the knotter clutch to watch it to see whats going on. 1) In each knotter, are there 2 ends of twine resting on the fingers?
2)Do the needles bring the twine up far enough?
3)When the twine fingers finish their cycle, do they let go of the knot?
4) Do you have a manual? It provides every clearance and adjustment for the knotters you could ever want. If you don't have one I'll try to xerox and send a few pages from mine. I have twine fingers and stripper arm springs on order, and should arrive tomorrow or Saturday. I have been playing with this baler for about two years and made every adjustment I could think of, or the manual suggested, without having to replace the twine fingers, since they are $108.00 apiece. Theres nothing else I can do now, so I bought them. A baler that won't tie is no damn good. Get back to me with some more details, and I'll help you as much as I can. Alex Rogers
