MF 1835 baler

[banjerpicker]

How do you guys clean the knotters and assembly. bought baler used, kinda dirty and I need to clean before I grease fittings.
Looks like last person never wiped the excess grease off the fittings and now it has attracted a lot of dirt in the knotters

Thanks

Once a year I'll power wash mine, then lube the heck out of it. Grease as normal, wd-40 the whole assembly. But mine is usually pretty clean anyway so I don't worry about wet hay chaff getting soaked & sitting there.
