I broke both twines. Can someone explain how to re-thread the knotter. A picture would greatly help. If not, can you explain what the knotter, needles, etc., are. I just can't figure it out. TIA, Tom

For heavens sake, go to ebay and watch for a manual. It will come. Let's not get hurt or damage a perfectly good machine through ignorance.

My JD has a diagram on the inside of the twine box cover.

Genrally speaking the left 2 balls of twine are connected and the right two balls connected. Feeding out of the inside of each set the twine routes throught the twine tension bar on the right side of the twine bow, throught the porceline twine guide together and then individually through each of the needle guides the pulled back to the bale chamber tension springs. on each side and tied off. Then on the next cycle the needles thread the knotters. Pretty unusual to break both sides at once, in fact I cant recall ever doing it. I'd love to send you a pic but the farm where the baler is is 20 miles away and its just past midnight here.

Get a manual and get on with your life. They have pictures that show how to thread them

Why did the twine break it get tangled up or what once you figure that out each baler has a different route to take to get to the needles but when you get the twine through the needles pull it back toward the rear of the baler and tie it off any where under there. When you trip the knotter and the needles do their thing the twine should be in the knotter ready to go if everything is working right.

With John Deere you thread the needle and the needle threads the knotter.

Go from the twine box thru the string guides and then thru the eye of the needle. Tie the loose end off at the compression chamber cranks. If it takes longer than a minute you are slacking.

MF-12 threads just like all the others described here. The needles load the knotter.
