I'm just not getting the knots to scrape off the bill hook consistently and most of the time no knots and all.I roll the flywheel by hand a little at a time and then go take a look. When I pull the holding bolt and roll the knotter frame back and roll the gears and bill hook and knife arm thru the cycle when rolling to back (where I can see) position. The scraper rubs lightly on the back of the bill hook. Any tricks or suggestions. Maybe like the bill hook has to start coming into contact with bill hook sooner? I've had some terrible knot messes on the bill hook. I watch the New Holland knotter video and theirs sure works smooth. I have all the hay removed from the chamber and the No. 1 string hangs down instead of to the rear of the baler. I don't know how to duplicate that string going around the bale with out hay in the chamber? What's the real world trouble shooting methods you guys use? I'm going on week 3 trying to make these knotters tie. I've adjusted twine fingers and all the spring/twine plate tension adjustments bill hook cam spring. Help. bjr
