NH 570 plunger rail getting hot

dimanche 10 juin 2018

Hi guys,

 

1990 model New Holland 570 that I've had for 14 trouble-free years.  3-5000 bales a year and have done nothing but grease it and sharpen the knives.  Have done about 1000 bales so far this year and noticed a burning smell the other day.  Found some smouldering hay chaff on the top plunger rail and it was too hot to touch.  I soaked it with the hose, smeared some grease on the bottom of the rail, and made sure the extinguisher was charged to get done with baling that day.  A couple questions:  Should the rails run that hot?  Is there something obvious that I should do here.  I've read the manual but cant tell for sure if there are shims above the rail.  Was hoping not to have to remove the plunger...   Thanks, Bob

 

You can see where the blackened area is.
