hondaman Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 (edited) There is a screw on the left side bottom of the press that holds the end cap on, and threads into the crankshaft. Is that supposed to come loose? I tighten mine, and it quickly comes unscrewed, within 20-30 pulls. Should I put locktite on it?

Linear Thinker Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 There's no screw on the bottom left of a 1050 (unless you count the supports for the casefeeder), nor is there an end-cap, nor is there anything threaded into the crankshafts on any of my 1050s. I'm puzzled, and would appreciate a picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linear Thinker Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 (edited) Aha! You have a Super 1050, not a 1050. They are very different - the ol' 1050 doesn't use the removable needle bearing cartridges to support the the crankshaft, and doesn't need a retainer cap. I can't offer the specific advise for the Super 1050 due to lack of experience with that model, but looking at the parts diagram I think the Loctite would help. Use the blue kind, not the green, red or black Loctite, and degrease the bolt 13685 beforehand. Good luck!

dhenry132 Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Get rid of the screw and put a good bolt with lock washer on using blue loctite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Taliani Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I use blue loctite and have no issues with walking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sauza45 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Clean the threads and use blue locktight and let it dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
