I would say your disk timing is way late if you had to put a 5/16 nut in there and that is what makes the twine knife late also. The amount of washers (or nuts & washers) is going to totally depend on the disk timing. I would set it for the half inch measurement, then run a cycle with just enough material to get at least half a bale and quit feeding, trip the bale length arm and immediately shut off the pto. Now you look at the knot still on the bill hook and see if twine is cut completely. If not you increase the distance by adding washers it will cut earlier. Less, cuts later. Too early, needle twine will pull out of disc before knot is complete, too late and not cut completely, the knot will pull apart coming off the bill hook. A big improvement IH came with was a tapered shaft on the disc , double nutted so it is infinitely adjustable to time the disc. Original you had to move shims on the shaft and that did not work well and only small changes possible. A twine end retainer spring was also a big improvement to keep disc twine held onto a little longer. All these changes can be added to a 46 but most already have that done by now.

The gentleman no longer farmed because the entire area was developed with housing and light industry. I had stopped several times and knocked on the door but no one would answer. My curiosity was up and I wanted to contact the owner. I wanted to see what he planned to do with the combine.
