Hi, 45 years ago I worked on the the 45 knotters a lot. First suggestion is buy 2 new twine knives and adjust per manual. If it still does not work after that write back telling us the following and this is like the trouble shooting guide in the IH manual:
1)Are both knotters doing the same thing?
2)Was twine long enough to go around bale or was it to short ? If no, then twine is slipping out of twine disk.
3)Is there 1 tied bow and the other end has a ragged cut on the twine? Bad twine knife or slipping out of twine disk.
4) Twine wrapping around bill hook? Bad knife or twine breaking before knot is tied.

IH used to sell a modification to the 46 knotter that was called a 'twine keeper' that was an additional formed piece of spring metal that mounted under the twine knife and extended to the back of the twine disk where it applied pressure on the twine on the backside of the twine disk. This prevented the twine from slipping out of the twine disk. The major cause of twine slipping out of the disk was poor quality twine with thick and thin spots in it. See if this same mod is available for 45 baler.

Good luck
JB
