Selector 700197143 Knotter Selector Lever Replacement Fits Massey Ferguson MF2270XD & MF2290 Baler

The selector 700197143 is the control lever that selects knotter operation on Massey Ferguson and Challenger large square balers. It moves the linkage that brings the knotters into or out of the tie cycle, so the detents and the lever geometry have to be accurate: any wear shows up immediately as a knob that feels vague or a knotter that engages with a delay.

On machines used for both twine and net wrap, or for baling different crops through the season, the selector is worked far more often than on a single purpose baler. A worn selector body allows the linkage to slip out of position under vibration, which produces missed ties that are difficult to trace because the knotter itself is healthy.

• Machined selector body with accurate detent positions so the knotter engages at the same point every time.
• Hardened lever arm resists the wear that produces a vague or springy feel at the control handle.
• Direct fit to the original AGCO linkage, retaining the factory travel and adjustment range.
• Compact 0.64 kg part is easy to keep as a service item and quick to change during a knotter service.
• Corrosion resistant finish keeps the detents free when the machine stands between harvest seasons.
• Supplied ready to install with the correct mounting holes and lever offset.

Specified for Massey Ferguson MF 2270, MF 2250, MF 2270XD and MF 2290 balers and for the Challenger 2270XD model. Because the part is used on a narrower range of machines than most knotter components, it is worth ordering together with other service items to make a full shipment, and dealers usually keep one or two units alongside the clutch arm and anvil.

Selectors are wrapped, boxed and labelled with the AGCO part number, then consolidated with other knotter service parts on export pallets. Small orders ship by courier in reinforced cartons, and every shipment includes a packing list for easy verification on arrival.

Please confirm the machine model before ordering, as the selector is used on a smaller model range than other knotter parts. We can supply the matching linkage pins and hardware if the existing control has developed play.
