Gents,We're new to haying and have bought a NH 68. The former owner broke the needles and he put new ones on. He said to check the timing before we use the baler. We have a manual and are adjusting, greasing, setting timing, etc. The manual says the needles should just begin to enter the bale chamber when the tips of the projections on the plunger have passed the points of the needles by .25-.75". Does this mean when the plunger has passed heading TOWARD the needles, or AWAY from the needles. We neophytes don't have the experience to know. Second, the timing marks on the knotter clutch are off a little bit. Can wear cause this? Third, can one adjust the needle position by shortening the lift rod that attaches to the needle yoke? Also, does anyone have a manual for a model 68? We're missing pages 13/14 and 19/20. I can accept an emailed image or a faxed copy. Thanks so much for your assistance. The hay is windrowed and ready to bale! Tom
