I wouldn't know if the 4 remaining dealerships in the county (1 JD, 1 blue CNH, 1 red CNH, 1 AGCO) still would work on knotters or not (no pun intended). I DO know their shop rates are pretty dear, and that they would much rather sell you a new baler than fix an old one, and parts seem to be priced accordingly.
I imagine in most areas there are a few who have had enough blue word experience with one brand or another over the years, who could be resourced when your knotters don't. It may just be a matter of figuring out who.

In theory, a knotter is a simple machine, but like many things in life, timing is everything. A bit of wear in a not so obvious place can cause a lot of problems that may be hard to come up with a simple solution for. One of the reasons I don't give my real name here - I already have enough to do.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
