John Deere 14T baler needle frame

[JiminIowa]

Hi, tryin to get this old baler going again. I have determined that the needle frame is slightly bent as the new needles i put in don't line up. Has anyone ever tried to straighten one? Or, am I better off getting a replacement? Anybody have one to sell? Thank you, Jim

I have both a 14T and 24T I would love to get rid of but will not scrap them. Both are only good for parts but I want to get rid of them whole

It's very difficult to get needle frame true again. For this reason and cost of repairs it's very important for plungerhead stop to work properly.
