Finished baling for the day a couple days ago and noticed that my knotters didnt look right when blowing chaff off. Looked in more detail, twine had hung up in the bale hook and twine fingers didnt look right. Spring which holds the lever in place had broke. Had a spare in the toolbox, went to bale. When it was tying a knot, needles stayed in the up position, drive chain broke and broke a shear pin. Drive chain was old and worn (one side of the roller chain link appeared to be an old break. Mended the chain, returned the needles, tied a knot and the shear pin broke again. This time the needles did not remain up but they did not return all the way to the home position. I am wondering if it is an issue with the brake? Or perhaps it needs adjustment. The needles, when pulling them back to the home position move easily near home but need a little force to pull them back all the way. They remain latched there but can easily be pulled forward. I compared to our 2nd baler (NH 311). The needles on that do NOT easily move out of home position.
Should the brake be holding the needles firmly in place? I have a manual (both repair, knotter and operators) but figured i would ask what I should be feeling as far as home tightly the needles are held into the fully retracted position.
I hope my question makes sense. Thanks in advance.

The farm and the Allis were sold and I have spent a lifetime working on farms throughout the country. I promised myself that one day I would own an Allis. That time event
