Can you post a link to the 1050 tear down and lube video?

 

I checked Dillon's videos, but didn't seem much on the 1050...

 

Oddly, Dillon does not have a video for the 1050 but this one is pretty good.

Hi Guys,

I'm constantly hearing different information about maintenance on the Dillons. I have a 650 that I try to keep well maintained. What I would like to know is if anyone has ever come up with a diagram or a video that details where and what you should lubricate. I know the main shaft gets 30w motor oil and the center stud is supposed to be greased, but what else. The manual only mentions those two spots.

I remember when the machine was new there was grease on the shell locater, and on the plastic slide for the case feed and on the actuator for the primer advance. I don't see any mention of that in the manual. I also know that there are holes in the linkage that people grease. I don't have a grease gun that small, so I use oil.

I have the maintenace kit that has the syringe of grease, but no other mention of where to use it. What kind of grease is in this syringe anyway?

I know this has been asked before, but I couldn't find anything in my search. Maybe I'm not asking correctly. Any old links or directions to the info would be greatly appreciated.

As a caveat, I am only loading about 4K a year so no danger of it disintagrating on me and I know Dillon would replace anything that did.

Thanks.

Tom

anything that frictions against another part gets grease on my 650.

My 550 does not have grease zerks either. Purchased in December 06 from BrianEnos.com.

There are pilot holes (6 total / 2 for each pivot pin) that I suppose you could put zerks but I don't know why they didn't get put on at the factory? I don't know how else you could grease the pivot pins otherwise?

Okie

You can buy a small grease pump with a needle fitting that will pump grease into that tiny hole.  http://www.dualco-inc.com/products.push.html

be sure to get the one with the needle dispenser.

Is there a particular type of grease thats recommended to be used?

I started with a tube of some black synthetic moly which I though might be superior. What it did was make a superior mess. Then while watching one of Dillon's videos saw that they used a blue colored grease for assembly. I thought, that's smart because any over-lubrication will simply disappear, blue against blue. So I've been using some blue Mobil grease I got off Amazon. Works great !

How are you all applying grease to all the little places?

I started using a Q-tip, but that leaves strands everywhere.

There must be some Q-tip like applicator that can be used, that won't leave fibers stuck in the grease. 

Any info is always appreciated.  I'm working on an RL1100.

 

Thanks.
