One last thing in response to your reply; Quite a lot of my work on and attempts at diagnosing this baler have been done while turning the flywheel by hand and watching the mechanisms function, as you suggested. The owner is a 71 year old woman(who can outwork most 40 yr old men! No exaggeration!!) and it is she who usually does the flywheel turning while I watch things work. The problem with trying to replicate real time function this way is that 1) with real time function, the pull on the string by the bales is stronger than what I can do by hand. and 2) the pull on the string by the bales is at different angles than what I can do by hand. What this all means is that when I cycle the baler by hand, even using bungy cords to act a bit like bales to keep tension on the strings, Im not getting a real time duplication of function. Just because I cant pull a knot off the bill hook doesnt mean it wont come off in real time operation. Or vise versa; just because I CAN pull a knot off the bill hook doesnt mean it will come off in real time operation. Its a terrible catch 22! So anyway, while turning the flywheel by hand and watching the knotter work in slow motion does offer a great deal of insight to many problems, it doesnt perfectly cover them all. Unfortunately. Those are just my findings though. Your mileage may vary.

Today's Featured Article - Memories of a Farmall C - by Monty Bradley. When I was a child, my grandparents lived on a farm owned by a Mr. Walters. The crops raised were cotton and soybeans, with about forty head of mixed breed cattle. Mr. Walters owned two tractors then. A Farmall 300 on gasoline and a Farmall C, that had once belonged to his father-in-law, and had been converted from gasoline to LP Gas. Many times, as a small boy, I would cross the fence behind the house my grandparents lived in and walk down the turn row to where granddaddy would be cultivati
