New Holland 376 baler

Just out of interest what timing marks are used for the knotters. I know the notches for the crank and packers but couldn't see anything for the knotters. Worked on one the other day that was breaking shear bolts because the knotters were a bit behind and the ram stop wasn't coming out in time. I just advanced the knotters 2 teeth until the ram stop cleared and its been fine since.

Are there some holes in the drive sprockets? I can't remember tbh.

I think there are centre punch dots on the drive sprocket and the driven sprocket, usually the chain has to jump a tooth or two to compensate for chain wear.

Yep line up the punch marks, crank, then packer then knotter,

Hi , I’m just wondering how your baler is going, I had a moment of weakness at the weekend and bought what looks like a good one. Does anybody know the width of them as I am trying to organise getting mine collected.
Thank you.
