Want your knotter completely rebuilt for less than half the cost of a new knotter?
If your frame and a lot of your other parts are looking good, we can rebuild your knotter with just the parts it needs. When your knotter arrives at our workshop, our experienced technicians will disassemble it, clean all the parts, and determine which ones still have lots of life left in them, and which ones will need replacing.
We will provide you with a complete itemized estimate. It's then up to you if you want to go ahead with the rebuild. The average cost is between $600-$800 for parts and labor (per knotter). Usually, we can get the knotter rebuilt and shipped back within a week, and get you back in the field sooner!
After sending your John Deere Knotter through the parts washer we:
- Disassemble and inspect your knotter.
- Worn out parts are replaced with new aftermarket or OEM parts.
- Billhooks are always replaced.
- We replace the wiper arm with a remanufactured, updated and freshly painted assembly.
- Knotters are reassembled with the new parts.
- Bench-tested on an intermittent gear to assure an accurate fit.
