Hey guys! I've got a few questions about NH Knotters. I'm running a NH68 Hayliner, and last year, it started breaking strings, AFTER the knot was tied.
The knot is failing to come off of the bottom of the billhook, and the new bale being formed pushes the tied bale farther and farther away, stretching the twine until it finally breaks.
I tried tieing a knot last night in our shop, turning the flywheel by hand, fairly slow, and no hay in the chamber, so of course, it didn't go great, BUT, both knots tied, and neither came off the bill hooks.
I removed bill hooks today, and according to my manual, they are "pointed" instead of "rounded", and in the book, that is described to cause the exact problem I am having, knots being trapped on the bill hook.
My manual says to file the tips until they are rounded, and then re install. I believe that is part of the problem, and I'm going to try it, but I also have concerns about the knotwiper? I don't recall seeing it in action last night. I remember when the arm came across and cut the strings, but I don't remember it coming in contact with the bill hook?
Am I correct in thinking that it should at least rub the bill hook on the way by? What other problems should I be looking at / for?

Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
