I had an 847. There is a disconnect link in each chain. Raise the lid a few inches and turn the baler until the repair link is in the opening. For safety, block the lid open. See if the link is at the same place on each side. See if there is an equal number of links between the bars at the repair links. If not remove a link and reconnect. It is possible when the chain was last assembled that the bars were not put in at the same place in the chains on each side. You may have to remove the bolts from one side and start over. After getting both chains to have the same number of links, run the baler and see it there is an improvement. Check operators manual, or it may be necessary to get a shop manual.
Not to be adding to your troubles, but the runners the floor chains run in get worn out. Also the bottom sheet metal can have holes worn in it from the bale turning.
Hint: when you get the baler working, I would stop the baler from turning after wrapping the twine and then eject the bale. The drive chain on the left side of the baler has a tendency to jump out of the track when the bale is left turning before ejecting. I added a side piece of wood to the wooden slide that chain runs on to keep the chain in place.
Another hint: The factory knife on mine would not always cut the twine. I made a deeper knife from a piece of mower knife section and had no more trouble.
Check the hinges at the top of the baler. I had one break and cause the lid to raise unevenly. Don't know if that is effecting the chain on yours or not.

Despite having to disassemble the majority of my John Deere 2010's diesel engine, I was still hopeful I could leave the engine-complete with crankshaft and camshaft-in the tractor. This would make the whole engine rebuild job much easier-and much less expensive! I soon found however, that the #4 conrod bearing had disintegrated, taking with it chunks of the crankshaft journal.
