Timing a New Holland 283 Square Baler

[@kmf760]

Thank you!! My 326 busted it's feeder drive chain and i couldn't figure out what to look for to get everything back in time. My timing points were slightly different than yours, but you got me on the right track. Now, hopefully I can get back and finish baling!

Glad to help! I had to figure this one out on my own so I figured I'd make a video to help others with this series of balers

Hey i just got one of these balers and will need to go through everything to see whats in need of work thanks for making a video like this

You're welcome!

With rust on the chain it looks like it lived outside over the winter. Oiling the chain and then covering the knotter over the winter and not leaving two bales inside will help it bale all summer without a hitch, but if the chains are not oiled greased or lubricated every roller chain will break and or wear out the sprockets.

Where does the twine finger return spring connect on both ends? I bought a NH 276 hayliner and it didn't come with the spring.

It may just hook to the knotter frame, no specific hole or anything. My old 65 is that way

@@markgroth4380 Thank you! That's what it looks like in the manual, but wasn't sure.

What Mark said.... right to the knotter frame

[@marzouqhumoud2616]

Just 1 confusing question i am facing when do you trip the arm for the knotters and needles. When you time it right can you trip it anytime ?

[@vengethis]

As long as the plunger is in the timing marks and the timing marks on the knotter wheel are in line when you set the chain , it can trip any time and it'll rotate on it's next rotation

[@marzouqhumoud2616]

@@vengethis Ok now i finally know exactly how the bailer works at last. So to set it to perfect timing i should just remove the chains for plunger,knotters and feeder and set it to exact position and test it out slowly at first. I have a twine knotter on my sb541 baler and am just using wire and its working fine. This became quite concerning to me, should i keep the wire and go with it ??

Sorry to bother you. but what is the Hydraulics doing.

[@vengethis]

It drives the 8-pack accumulator system
