Denny I'll try to answer what parts I can. The needle should miss the twine disc by about 1/8". The needle should very lightly touch the knotter frame. Not drag, just lightly touch. About the most common causes of the twine hanging in the bill hooks are: 1. Rough spots or burrs worn down into lips on billhook. 2. Dull knife 3. Knife lift arm out of adjustment and dragging on the bill hooks back. 4. Too much tension on the twine. There should be some long springs with adjustment bolts through them on the knotter brake caliper. With the baler sitting there idle and all the knotters and needles at the home position take ahold of the rod that goes to the brake. See if you can move the knotter brake by hand pressure. If the brake disc will move any at all by hand the brake needs tightened. If it does'nt move at all the brake is fine.
