It's a true service manual: component-level teardown and repair of the bill hook, knife arm, twine disc, twine holder, and worm shaft, with the knotter stack dimensions and service charts you need to retime and rebuild to spec rather than by trial and error.

This manual treats the standard knotter and the heavy-duty knotter as two separate systems, each with its own teardown and reassembly sequence, because the parts and procedures differ between them. The parts referenced throughout — bill hook, bill hook pinion, knife arm, bill hook cam, twine disc and disc cleaners, twine disc gear, worm shaft, and twine holder — are identified against figure illustrations so you can match what's on your machine to the page.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKnotter faults are among the most common reasons a working baler gets pulled out of the field, and correct timing and clearance are what separate a clean tie from a missed or slipped knot. Because so many of these balers remain in seasonal service, having the factory service sequence — with the exact stack dimensions and adjustment clearances — is what lets you retime and rebuild a knotter to spec.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat the Knotters Manual Covers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSection 1 — Standard Knotters:\u003c\/strong\u003e Knotter parts identification, raising the left and right knotters, and the full teardown\/rebuild sequence.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBill hook service:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bill hook removal, driving out the grooved pin, removing the bill hook pinion, reinstallation, and servicing the replaceable bill hook cam.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKnife arm service:\u003c\/strong\u003e Knife arm removal, shim-washer end-play setting (1\/16\" or less), installation, and knife arm adjustment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwine disc service:\u003c\/strong\u003e Twine disc and disc cleaner removal and installation, twine disc gear handling, and twine disc timing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwine holder \u0026amp; tension:\u003c\/strong\u003e Twine holder tension-spring setting to the 1\/16\"–3\/32\" (1.6–2.4 mm) measurement.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWorm shaft pinion replacement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Freeing the worm gear from the tapered worm shaft, removing and reinstalling the pinion and space washers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKnotter stack dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e The setting dimensions, including the 1\/32\" (0.8 mm) clearance callout.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKnotter service charts:\u003c\/strong\u003e Problem\/cause troubleshooting charts for diagnosing tying faults — one for each knotter type.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSection 2 — Heavy-Duty Knotters:\u003c\/strong\u003e The parallel removal, twine holder, knotter frame assembly, space-washer setting, dimension checks, and heavy-duty service chart.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat the Free Bonus Manuals Cover\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwisters manual:\u003c\/strong\u003e Complete removal, disassembly, and rebuild of the wire twister — pinion support, hook shafts, shuttle cam, wire shear clamp and clamp stacks, twist wrappers, wire guides, and twister clutch — plus the adjustments a rebuild depends on: clamp stack setting, 1\/32\" max pinion vertical play, and hook timing.
