Wasn't tempered correctly and became brittle is my guess.

Always thought it was 'wrong' to bend a steel rod 90* and think it'll hold up to a zillion hours of use. I know it's cheaper/easier than welding but...... when it breaks it always happens to the farmer, in the filed NOT the bean counter in the head office !! I'd repair by welding the 'rods' at right angles, extending the horizontal one about 2", welding triangular 'gussets' to both side of the rods. Pretty sure it'd outlive me!! jay ------------- 3 D-14s,A-C forklift, B-112 Kubota BX23S lil' TOOT( The Other Orange Tractor) Never burn your bridges, unless you can walk on water |

| Don't know what caused the brake -- be sure to check and see if the needles are OK -- may be able to weld a fix as was mentioned. |

just broke the brake rod and sheared off the shear bolt at the flywheel. Not sure how, but twine got tangled on bill hook, not sure if you can see it in photo or not. ------------- been there done that, not doing it again... |

| Is it possible the shear bolt on the needle yoke is too hard strength? Looks like it would have sheared it before it broke the arm. I thought that was the reason it was there--to prevent just such a failure. By the way what model baler? |

It's a 302 Ky. Allis. I thought the same thing but if you look at the first pic. you can see a small block under the cotter key, I think the needles were on the return swing so the block held the arm in place and the shear bolt had no effect on it. the ram stop did it's thing though. ------------- been there done that, not doing it again... |

| if twine and/or knots are hanging on the bill hook, check the knife arm, their supposed to lightly drag on the bill hook, this is how the knot gets moved off the bill hook. the way I check is take the bolt out holding the knotter to the baler frame and rotate the knotter assembly up, watch your fingers, then watch as the knife arm moves across the bill hook |
