I bought this 275 cheap because the
previous owner said it was breaking shear
bolts. I rebuilt the knotters, feeder
carriage, and put a different knotter brake
on it from a baler that had been working.
I put a new knotter drive chain on and
timed it with the marks on the baler,
adjusted the needle stop latch per the
owners manual and it still wants to break
shear bolts. What would be causing the
needles to not be completely in home
position with everything timed right? The
needles don't drift out of home between
bales either.
