![]() ![]() The needle should just be able to slide in. I use the needle to gauge how far to hit the top tab down. Lean the yoke back slightly and take a hammer and hit the lower tab to bend it down about 1/4". You want the yoke to be resting on the tabs only. If the twine guide in the corner of the yoke is against the floor, then place 2x4s under the needle mounting tabs. Remove those bolts, swing the yoke forward and slide the mounts down until the yoke is free.įind a level concrete floor and stand the yoke up so the needle mounting tabs are supporting the yoke. The yoke pivots on two mounts which are held to the bale case with four bolts on each side. Remove the needles and disconnect the rod coming down from the knotter stack from the yoke. It is fixable, but will take some trial and error to get it right. If only the front third of the needles break, then there will not be any damage done to the yoke, but if the needles break right at the needle mount, then the mounting tabs bend upwards and you end up with the problem you have. Depending on what part of the tying cycle the needles were broken, damage can be done to the needle mounts on the yoke. Since the needles were out, I am going to take a guess and say the needles had been broken. Is there something I am missing? can I remove the carriage and bent it so the needles will clear, that seems to me not a good idea? thanks for any help. The needle adjustment with the 4 bolts on the carriage is fully adjusted, I am thinking the carriage is bent but I do not see anything obvious and cant talk myself into how it bent. the tip of the needle is supposed to be 1/8' clear of the ? and my needles are hitting it so hard I can not puch it through the cycle without feeling like I am going to break the needles so i stop and back it up then I have to re-time it again. The issue I am having is when I install the needles and run through the cycle, the needles bind into the knotter heads and I mean bind hard. I followed the instructions in the service manual and believe It is in time as I can rotate by hand with no needles installed and it appears all is well and the crankshaft shear pin plate moves out of the way at the correct time. I bought a NH 275 that I was told is out of time. Quick back round, I have been a auto mechanic and fabricator for the last 20 years, I was given two horses for my daughters and have 10 acres of grass hay I am cutting to feed them. ![]() My name is Carl and I am new to not only this forum but to hay baling. ![]()
