A block may be used as a guide to hold the teeth in this position. Locate the left hand edge of the feeder tooth 17 5/8", measured horizontally, from the extreame left side top of the feeder support. Turn the flywheel counter clockwise to move the plungerhead on the compression stroke to a point where the face of the plunger head is in the center of the front feeder slot in the bale case top. Remove the sield and knotter drive chain.Īdjust the feeder drive chain idler snugly against the chain with thumb pressure, and tighten the idler mounting bolt. Needle mounting bolts must have adequate clearance from the bottom of the bale case. Rotate the flywheel to return needles to home position. The needles should raise far enogh to seat twine firmly in the bottom of the twine disk grove and contiune to raise for at least 1/2" after seating. Rotate the flywheel counter clock wise to raise the needles. The face of the plunger head should measure 1 to 2 1/4" from the tip of the needle. Next turn the fly wheel counter clockwise until the tip of the highest needle is flush with the top edge of the bale groover. The lug on the clutch ring should nearly contact the trip dog roller. The left edge of the feeder tooth should measure 16 3/4" to 18 1/4" inches from the left edge of the feeder support. Rotate the flywheel in a counter clockwise direction until the face of the plunger head is centered in the front feeder slot. The feeder teeth that pull the hay into the chamber has an adjustable pin, start by setting the pivot pin in th e bottom hole of the feeder teeth.
The following steps will walk you through the process. Timing a 14t baler isn't a bad job but it does take a few steps. I found this on timing the 14T, it may help you understand what your looking for. I am amazed someone figured out how to build this knotter and I would like to have met him.
I can't see or find anything that moves during the 21 plunger cycles. the rotation of #2, how it is moved and what initiates the movement after ~21 plunger cycles. With the star rotation, #4 pushes on #3 and initiates a knotting cycle. 21 plunger cycles, #1 moves to it's current location. What or where counts the plunger cycles that allows all this to happen ?Īfter a bale is tied, #1 is on top of #2. At the proper bale length the safety bar(#1) is in position to initiate the knot, BUT there is a second "guard"(#2) that won't move to clear a path until approx 21 plunger cycles have happened. that safety bar is connected to the rotating "star" that measures the bale length. There is some sort of safety mechanism that won't allow that sequence UNLESS there has been approximately +/- 21 cycles of the plunger and the "safety bar"(#1) is lowered into the "go ahead and tie the bale" position. I've noticed, that on occasion, I can't manually initiate the knotting sequence.
