    14t knotter not tripping

    Baled 100 with 1 missed tie last week. Still have some work to do next spring. The measuring rod needs some more adjustment and the plunger makes a lot of noise when there isn't hay in it. Needs to be shimmed better. Thanks for all the help

    14t knotter not tripping

    Replaced main drive, feeder drive and knotter drive chains. Timed up pretty well. I realized the reason it won't trip is that something is keeping the knotter shaft from cycling all the way. In The video below, you see it slip backward at the very end. Then I can pull on the knife drive...

    14t knotter not tripping

    Don't judge me, but I baled 40 bales by walking behind and tripping it by hand. Hard to make consistent length bales that way. I quit because the drive shaft hangar by the slip clutch was worn and the drive shaft was making a lot of noise. I welded and ground the bracket to tighten it up. If...

    14t knotter not tripping

    I messed with the round rod some more and decided as others have said that bending it isn't the answer. It still gets bound in the intermittent gear. I really want to rotate the top of the intermittent gear to the front of the baler to give more room for the round rod. I don't see any way to...

    14t knotter not tripping

    The manual that FLHE had was the newer style. He has not worked on the old version for a while. So he didn't have any suggestions. I didn't consider ebay. I'd have to ask them to check what version they had...

    14t knotter not tripping

    I'm messing with The round rod that rides on the intermittent gear. Since I can't find a manual showing this design, I've been looking for pictures on the internet. Every picture I've been able to find on the internet shows it on the lower part of the gear. When I started out, my rod was on...

    14t knotter not tripping

    I appreciate the feedback. Now that i bent the round bar, The flat bar that TX jim put the x on can't get out of the way of the trip bearing until the star has rotated a significant amount to rotate the bell crank, but the bale doesn't move that fast. Because the bar is still there, it trips...

    14t knotter not tripping

    I bent the rod and now it trips, continuously. Every stroke of the baler. I consider it sn improvement, but it needs some more adjustments. Would Anybody baling with an older 14t be willing to post a video of it tripping? I can't find a manual with this version.

    14t knotter not tripping

    My new to me 14t ties well when I trip by hand, but the measuring wheel doesn't trip. It misses the target. It looks like I could bend the arm that rides on the cam so it hits lower, but I can't believe that's really the problem. Any thoughts? Video.

    14t plunger wear problem

    Thanks for the replies. I'm in western ny. I decided to fabricate a new chamber floor. Waiting on it to comeback fromvthe shop now. I'm hoping if I adjust the plunger, the new floor will last longer than me. I'm only planning on baling 500 per year.

    14t plunger wear problem

    I picked up a 14t last year and am going through it. I'm starting with zero understanding of balers. The worst problem is that the plunger has worn a slot through the bottom of the bale chamber on the left side. I think I'm going to fabricate the whole bottom piece of sheet metal rather than...

    Alternator Confusion, Positive Ground

    Here's the resolution to our story: When they converted from 6v generator system to 12v alternator years ago, they left it positive ground. When my neighbor took the alternator to be rebuilt late last year, he didn't appreciate that the alternator was positive ground, and didn't tell the shop...

    Alternator Confusion, Positive Ground

    Thanks for all the feedback, especially appreciated for someone who joined today and has not contributed to community yet. Just to clarify, the positive terminal of the battery is connected to the frame of the tractor. If I believe my neighbor (he's up there in years, and his recollection of...
