I wasnt having trouble getting knots to tie when turning the baler manually. My problem was whether or not those knots would pull off the bill finger once out in real world action. Whether or not they would did not seem to depend upon whether or not I could pull them off by hand in the shop. As another fella in this thread pointed out, I think the pull of the bails works in conjunction with the twine stripper in getting those knots off.
But fortunately, that problem has been solved. There was a washer that I didnt realize was interfering with the bill hook tensioner nut/spring. You can read a fuller, WAY longer and much more boring account of it in my reply to Fritz. So now I can get the knot to pull off but the new string coming up on the needle is often slipping off the tip of the bill hook as the bill hook begins to spin to make its knot. I suspect that the culprit of this problem is a twine tensioner that is adjusted too tight on the left side. Ive made the adjustments but, unfortunately, wont be able to do a test until later this week. I will definitely come back and let you know what happened. In the meantime, if you know of anything else that would cause the symptoms that Ive described, I would be extremely appreciative to hear about them! Thanks!
