New needles don't fit baler right

We just got new needles for the International model 46 baler, since the old ones were bent. When we went to put the new ones on it, we found that while they could be in the right position when the bolts weren't in them, when they were bolted on, they were too far back and hit the parts that are riveted on under the knotters or the twine discs. What would cause this to happen? Do you have any idea what to do about it? If the thing the needles bolt to is bent or twisted, can it be fixed?

Try loosening one bolt and tightening the other till you get the needle where you want it.

Hi William, had the same thing years ago on our 46 after in drop into a woodchuck hole, plunger hit the needles.

The problem is the U shaped needle carrier has become twisted. It is hard to see the twist until you remove the U carrier from the baler.

If I remember correctly, when the U is standing up vertically the welded on bolt holes should be perfectly horizontal. It will be twisted right where the bottom of the U goes vertical. If there is still paint on the U you may notice stress cracks in the paint.

We used an oxy-acetalyne tourch to heat the U and straighten the verticals.

Good luck
