Wildcanine Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 What can be the cause and cure for the pull on my dillon getting real stiff. I have used the oil as recommended by dillon on the main shaft and this hasn't helped much. Any help would be great. Thanks Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glynnm45 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 I know that on my Dillon 650 if I have the shellplate snugged down to tight the press won't hardly cycle, not sure about the 550 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.Hayden Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 On one older 550 I have, oiling the pins that hold the link arms rreally helped Just dropping a few drops of Kroil on each side of the arms, while it stayed assembled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poppa Bear Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 (edited) I injected grease into the main pivot points for the arm, links and crank. My press does not have zerks but it does have holes for a grease needle. Made a big difference. Edited February 27, 2013 by Poppa Bear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

practical_man Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Wildcanine I really like the spray white grease for lubing the linkage on my 550. Easy but a bit messy -john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
