Any old timers (or youngsters) aboard that can tell me the best way to replace the wear plates on the plunger head of a model 14t JD baler?

Does the plunger have to be remove from the bale case?

The knives have 1/2 +/- gap at the top. Knives have been removed and sharpened.

Have adjusted the wear plugs on the top side of the plunger. That leave a gap between the track and the wear plates on the bottm.

Any and All help will really be APPRECIATED!!

Thanks,
Frank Anderton

Frank, I have used a 14T since I bought it new in '63. I am going by memory and I think there are holes in the bottom of the case that you can align with the bolts that hold the spacers under the plunger. I think they are about 5/16 plow bolts. Take the nuts off in the plunger and drop the bolts through the hole and then add spacers, put the bolt back up through the plunger from underneath and tighten.I work on numerous balers but I think the 14T is setup this way.

Frank,the plungerhead has to be removed to replace wear plates.Disconnect connecting rod,if it has side hay resistors remove them.Block hay dogs out of chamber.Unscrew tension springs at rear of chamber and block up.Slide plungerhead out rear of bale chamber.It may also need NEW wear plugs.Lots of water has run under the bridge since I worked on a 14T.Also look a rails for wear.Jim B

Hello Jim,

Thank you for your input on this.

We pulled the plunger. Wasn't too bad. Good we did because all four plugs were rusted in and couldn't be moved. Finally worked all of them loose. Wear pads were okay. Reinstalled the plunger - little harder than removing. Adjusted so have about 1/8 to 3/16 clearance on top of knives. Bottom is about 1/8.

Haven't tried baling yet - been to wet to cut.
