Massey Ferguson Knotter Head Worm Gear
The knotter head worm gear provides the gear reduction that drives the knotter mechanism at the correct speed and torque for reliable knot formation. As the primary drive reduction component within the knotter head, worm gear condition is fundamental to knotter timing — worn tooth profiles reduce drive efficiency and introduce backlash that disrupts the precise sequential timing required between billhook, twine disc and stripper arm on every knotting cycle.
When replacing the worm gear, inspect the mating worm shaft and knotter drive components for wear — worm gear and worm shaft wear is interdependent, and fitting a new gear against a worn shaft accelerates tooth wear and will not restore correct drive efficiency.
