I just had a guy stop to ask advice on an AC 442 baler. It seems that I am the "AC guy" in the area and they think I know something about AC equipment. (Boy, are they wrong!) It's been over 25 years since I touched a square baler and longer since I had a 443 and Dad had a 444. I had a JD 336 for several years before I sold the cows. An uncle had a 442 and I know it was quite a bit different than the 443 or 444. Anyway, he has a 442 baler that needs to be timed. Does anyone have step-by-step directions, or can they send me the instructions from an owner's manual? Thank you!

Tell the guy to get himself an operators manual. ------------- If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere. Real pullers don't have speed limits. If you can't make it GO... make it SHINY |

He said he would love to find one, but he needs to get it timed as soon as possible. Where is the best place to get a baler operator's manual?

| I timed mine last year, but I'll be danged if I can remember the specifics. Wasn't that hard nor that different than my NH if I remember right. I know the feeder fork timing is also critical to not make banana bales. If I remember tonight, I'll look at my manual and reply back. |
