20 years ago I bought a NH 277 for 600 bucks from a dealer. He said that they took it in on a trade for a new baler. The people had a big dairy operation and had got the best out of it. I didn't know they were completed to work on or it took an expert. I have had the knotters apart totally and replaced bill hooks as well as any part that could come off to see if they looked like they needed replaced. The twine finger pivot bracket rusted away and I had to weld in scrap metal to fashion a new one. I had to replace knives and put in new needles after I let my Son inlaw use it and bring it back with a repaired chain which was not put in time. Had to replace hay dog springs and pins. In the 20 some years it has not seen an hour inside and this year I baled about 45 bales and it never missed a tie. I parked it hooked on the Oliver 77 out back after I used it last. When the hay was ready to bale I started the 77 and started baling. after the first tie I cranked the tension down and took off again. It must be fear that makes people think there is some secret to repairing the knotters or any other part when you have a manual to refer to. NH manuals make it kinda simple. If I would have known it was difficult I probly would have been up a creek.
