Is this a standard 68 or Super 68? The data tag will have a "S" before the number designating the super series. The reason I ask, the regular 68 baler plunger slides on "bearings" made of white oak bolted to the plunger, the other actually has a rollers. I"d find it hard to think that riding on wood it"d be froze unless there is no wood. Could be that you have rusted rollers? There are adjustments that can be made if for some reason the plunger is pushed to far to the right (as viewed looking fwd from the rear of the baler) should that be why the plunger is to tight. What position is the plunger stuck in? Is it fully extended (in the bale chamber) or back clear of the feeder tines? How did you seperate the plunger from the gear box (at the "elbow" or where the fwd link connects to the gearbox) I"ll guess that your only turning the fly wheel by hand at this point. If the plunger moves a short distance iin either direction of turning the fly wheel, it might be that the plunger stop that protects the needles from damage may be in the way.. baler out of time. Not sure how much experience with balers you have, but if you don"t know, the plunger stop is on the left side of the baler. It"s connected to the needles by a link. With the needles in the "home" position it should be clear of the bale chamber. ("Home" position of the needles is all the way back towards the rear of the baler.) Might check the "time" of things. Anybody got a link to KellyC"s website they could post? Sorry I had more questions than help..
