If I understand the book and have done what it says, the needles come to full up position BEHIND the plungerhead!!?? In other words the plungerhead is in full press against the forming bale when the needles come up behind it and place the twine, then withdraw before the plunger withdraws. I have not yet put the pto in gear to see what happens, but have observed all this by hand-turning the big flywheel on the baler. Is this the correct sequence for plunger/needles? Where should the plunger be in relation to the full up needle position?. [Reply]   [No Email]

I think the measurement in OM is needles to be 1-1/2"s from ""PH face"" but I never use a tape measure when timing a JD sq baler.

This protects the needles when in the up position. Your manual will tell you the exact time needles should enter the chamber.   [Reply]  [No Email]

Be sure your PH STOP is operating correctly(not froze & with operating spring in place) then turn bale measuring wheel to activate knotter cycle and turn flywheel to bring PH on compression stroke,when points of PH get even with needles when needles are even with the channels that point UP in the bottom of bale case then your baler is in time.   [Reply]  [No Email]
