A hay baler knots bales using twine or wire by employing a mechanism that feeds the material through a series of rollers and tensioning devices. Once the desired bale size is achieved, the baler automatically wraps the twine around the bale, then uses a knotting system that typically involves a series of hooks and blades to securely tie the twine in a knot. This process ensures that the bales are tightly bound for easier handling and storage. The knotting system is designed to be efficient, allowing for rapid production of bales during the harvesting process.
THREADING THE TYING MECHANISM for a McCormick No. 46 Baler Open the door on the twine chest and place balls of twine in twine containers. There is room for 4 balls, 2 for each side. From left to right, as you look from the back of the baler, they will be referred to as balls D, C, B & A. Connect the inside end of ball "A" to the outside end of ball "B" connecting the two balls of twine in the right twine container. Connect the inside end of ball "C" to the outside end of ball "D" connecting the two balls of twine in the left twine container. If twine is taken from the wrong end of a ball, it will twist and snarl in the tying mechanism. Join the twine ends with a firm square knot. Trim the loose ends about one-half inch from the knot and you're ready to thread the tying mechanism. Make sure the needles are in their extreme rearward position. If they are not, turn the flywheel and power take-off drive by hand until the needles reach the extreme position of their rearward stroke Thread the twine from the inside of ball "B" through the grommet in the right partition and the center guide in the top of the left compartment of the twine chest. Thread the twine from the inside of ball "D" through the lower guide in the left compartment of the twine chest. Thread the twine balls "B" and "D" through the grommet in the left partition of the twine chest. Thread the twine between the pressure plates of the twine tension device and through the grommet in the bottom of the twine chest. Run the twine through the twine guide on the needle tie pipe and through the three twine guides underneath the bale chamber. The twine from the right twine container furnishes twine for the right needle and the twine from the left twine container furnishes twine for the left needle. Thread the ends of the twine through the holes of the needle head. Pull these two twine ends up through the bale chamber. Operate the baler slowly under power. Hold the twine as shown in Illust. llA (I tie it off to something near the back of the baler). Trip the clutch, and let the tying mechanism go through a cycle. Strip the single knots off the knotter hooks to complete the threading operation. Operate the tying mechanism several times at rated engine speed to be sure it is working smoothly. Hold the twine by hand each time to prevent the twine from fouling in the knotters.
no knot on the end of twine held by the twine holder 1-need more tension on twine holder spring or 2- baling too tight no knot on twine on the end delivered by the needles 1-twine disc timing (this is the most likely cause) look at the other disc to see if it ia aligned the same as the one that's working and check arm to see if it's bent different than the side that's working - also ck the mounting of the twine finger to see if it's farther back than the one working--also ck the hay dogs--hope this helps!!---been there done that---haha --- Randy
John Deere was married to Demarius Lamb. They tied the knot back in 1827, long before tractors became all the rage. So, yes, John Deere had a wife, and no, it wasn't a tractor.
Jem and Scout find a ball of twine in the knot hole the third time they visit.
first your two roll in their compartment,run under the little plate before exiting and then going thru the two tension aid springs and then both thru the 1st porcelain,then divide for each porcelain on needle and go tie at base of needle and then engage manually for tiyng knot and then rotate whole system by hand by turning the flywheel.Gidday, I am self-taught on the 503, but after threading the needle, I pass the twine straight up through the gap in the knotting mechanism, against the thingy with the multiple serrated discs, then tie it back to the bale density adjuster at the back. After the first bale it will cut the twine then you can remove the remaining bit of twine with the knot you tied.

To tie gift bag handles together securely and attractively, you can use a decorative ribbon or twine. Simply cross the handles over each other and tie the ribbon or twine in a tight knot. You can also add a bow or a decorative knot for a more polished look.
To effectively tie a roast for optimal cooking results, follow these steps: Place the roast on a clean surface and cut a piece of kitchen twine long enough to wrap around the roast multiple times. Starting in the middle of the roast, wrap the twine around the roast and tie it securely with a knot. Continue wrapping the twine around the roast at regular intervals, making sure it is tight but not too constricting. Tie another knot at the end to secure the twine. This method helps the roast cook evenly and maintain its shape during cooking.
Knotters to tie twine were developed at the latter part of the 19th century to tie cereal sheaves produced by binders. In principle the same system is still in use today in balers used for hay, straw, silage and haylage. Twine is fed from balls stored in the 'twine box' into the balers's compression chamber via guides and through the needles. As the crop is fed in, the bale pushes twine along the chamber thus covering end, top and lower part of bale until the preset length of bale is reached. The knotter trip is engaged driving the needles up into the knotter frame thus completing the encirclement of the bale in the chamber. A device called the 'twine retainer' receives the twine delivered by the needles. The retainer consists of notched discs which are rotated by the knotter drive mechanism. Note that the the same retainer also holds the twine while the bale is being formed. The two ends of the twine are thus brought together and are briefly held while the discs rotate and as they do they are gathered by another rotating device known as the 'bill hook' which has a beak which opens to grip the two pieces of twine. As the hook rotates through 360 degrees the twines wrap round the bill hook, the beak closing on them. At this point a device known as the 'stripper arm' sweeps under the bill hook forcing the new knot of the hook. As the beak is still holding the twine the stripping action pulls the held twine through the loop now formed by the rotating bill hook. At the point just before the stripper reaches the end of its travel a knife attached to its end cuts the twine free leaving the new knot holding the bale with the other end held in the twine retainer ready to receive the next charge of crop. The whole cycle is too fast to observe unless the baler is rotated by hand. Critical points are the grip on the twine held in the 'twine retainers'; the tension on the bill hook beak and the set of the stripper arm which must pass under the lower part of the bill hook just lightly touching it. Another important point is the correct set of the notches in the retainer so that the needles deliver the twine at exactly the right point in the cycle. All these aspects are adjustable and the maker's instructions must be observed for the knotter to give reliable perfomance. In practice it is usual to achieve one or two misses out of one thousand knots.

Scout and Jem find two pieces of chewing gum, a ball of twine, and two Indian-head pennies in the knot hole of the tree. What frightens Scout is finding the gum and the twine, as they suspect someone has been leaving items for them in the tree, suggesting a hidden observer.
