Bailer help

[FloresFarm]

Hello I recently bought a Massey Furguson #12 bailer and having some issues with it. Its my first attempt to mow hay on our farm and have no knowledge with these types of bailers. The problem im having is when I engage the pto the bailer will spin until the pusher comes in contact with a rod and then the pin on the turn gear will shear off. I have a few pictures hopefully it will help as im not great at explaining things and have no idea what the correct terms are for the bailer parts. The 1 pic is the spin gear shear pin. 2-3-4 pics are the pusher getting stuck while coming in contact with the rod. 5 pic is the underneath of the rod which connects to a spring. Thank you.

if you are on Facebook there’s a small/ conventional Baler group that’s a fountain of knowledge and a guy called Andrew Walley aka ‘the Baler doctor’

The timing is out, you need a man with a van to come and calibrate for you.

The baler won’t turn over because the tips of the needle s are still in the chamber ,if you pull them out by pulling by hand on the frame they are mounted on this will lower the ram stop out of the chamber then turn the flywheel manually for a full cycle to check the needles stay out of the chamber as the ram goes down don’t start the pto until you are sure all is working

I was able to remove the spring which lowered the ram. The bailer seems to be operating with the spring removed and ram down. Will it bail like this or do i need that ram there? Thanks

Just get a contractor to do it, and concentrate on your other work

Follow the advice to go to that Facebook page. They are really enthusiastic and very good. Maybe someone local to you.

Timing is out, sadly that model I believe is a French Riviere Casalis baler and very few were sold here. May be difficult to find annexpert
Gopefully I am wrong!

I have a MF 4 which looks similar.
There is another shear bolt on the needle drive which I expect is gone. That will then leave the stops up which are there to protect the needles from the packer. Hence the main shear bolt goes.
Needle shear bolt on left hand side , access through side, towards back of knotters.
