[AT] New Holland pit crew

[John Hall]

 I'm proud to say that after  $200 in parts and countless hours testing, 
adjusting,testing,adjusting (you get the picture) my baler is now tying 
bales. I swear we've pulled the knotter apart so many times I can assemble 
it as fast as the guy at the factory! We went from knots hanging on the bill 
hook to breaking twine and hanging on the bill hook. Long story short after 
replacing and adjusting a bunch of stuff we carried a couple of broken knots 
to a parts man at a former New-Holland dealership. He took one look and 
asked if we had installed a new New Holland knife arm . Dad said yes to 
which he replied, go home and deburr it and the baler will work. It seems 
New Holland wore out the molds and when they made new ones they decided 
these parts no longer needed large radius' on every edge much less a smooth 
surface. After 20 minutes of grinding the problem was solved and I'm ready 
to bale. Wonder if they would give me money back for the $75 I spent on 
their incomplete part? No wonder all the balers I see coming into the area 
today are green.
