Warpdrv Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Ok I bought a used Dillon 650 for a decent price, it was pretty beat up, and we massaged it a bit to get it working pretty well but not perfect. When we got it, the indexing ring was broken, we replaced it.... Should platform and tool head be re-aligned with the replacement of the index ring ?

glynnm45 Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Why didn't you send it to Dillon for a rebuild? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warpdrv Posted April 20, 2014 Author Share Posted April 20, 2014 I honestly had no clue that was an option, but I really don't mind taking care of it myself. I love getting to know the mechanics of it. THAT IS THE SOUND OF INEVITABILITY ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warpdrv Posted April 21, 2014 Author Share Posted April 21, 2014 (edited) OK - I have another question for you guys..... on my "13242 Primer Station Locator Tab" (page 55 of the manual) when I remove the shell plate - the tab flys open and the spring wants to go flying if I'm not careful. it seems that I am missing something to "keep it together here" hahahha I have the instruction manual, but i'm not clear on what retains the arm from flying open..... Is it the set screw needs to be unscrewed from the hole to stop the movement..... !?!?!!? thanks for your help with "the new guy" Patrick Edited April 21, 2014 by Warpdrv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warpdrv Posted April 23, 2014 Author Share Posted April 23, 2014 (edited) Yeah it was the set screw, which in fact the threads were locked up tight inside there. In had to pour some penetrating oil, let it sit for a while, then use a pliers on the Allen wrench to break it loose. Now it's totally adjustable and set properly. I hate how neglected this machine was but she's running smooth now. THAT IS THE SOUND OF INEVITABILITY ! Edited April 23, 2014 by Warpdrv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
