Hey guys,

I bought this used hay equipment from a farmer down the road (he had passed away) and everything has been going great. I have already cut and raked into windrows and ready to bale.

I did two bales then the right side (from behind the machine) will not tie or something has gone wrong. I did not get a manual with the baler (its probably 20+ years old) and have no experience with the knot or tie mechanism. Here's a few photos, does anything look like an "easy" fix?

I really need to get these baled before Tuesday. The problem is the right side (from behind) and how to get it to tie the bale on the right......hope that makes sense.

Thanks for any input.

After a day of searching I found a video for the MF12 and how to string it. Square bales done and put away.
