Did a dumb thing with 46 Baler

Perhaps this will help anyone else from making the same stupid mistake. I was baling away and no twine on one side. Checked twine box and sure enough, a tangle as one roll only had a few dozen feet left. Rethreaded and restarted. Mayhem. Every fifth bale missed. Sharpened Twine knife, adjusted knife timing etc, etc. No improvement. Turned out that when I pulled the tension plates apart to rethread twine I pulled both of them out and had the twine BEHIND both plates instead of between them. The sun was in my eyes is my excuse. I have been running this baler for many years and that is a first.

Just part of getting older. I'm approaching 70 and seem to pull more dumb tricks each year. Still able to get my shoes on the the correct feet though.

The dumb tricks I pull at 62 aren"t a patch on the ones I pulled at 22.
