After cutting all the twine mess out and checking the timing it looks ok, however… now the clutch will not...

    Need to remove a link from the chain that drives the knotter on my MF1839 small square baler. If I remember right, if you take the link out of the slack (non-drive) side of the chain, it does not affect knotter/plunger timing. Looking for a second set of knowledgeable eyes to keep me from...

    Does anyone know if the knotter for a 575 NH baler also works with a 311? Even better, what are all the models that the 575 knotters are compatible with?
