haze10 Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 My Dillon 650 is dragging on both up and down strokes. Its not the shell plate. Its either the shaft or the pivots. I've oiled everything with light weight gun oil, there's plenty of lube on everything. But no real improvement in the drag. Press is 14 years old and has loaded a lot of rounds. Any ideas or recommendations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlin Orr Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 I am sure you can figure out what is wrong and how to fix it..but...Might be a good time to ship that puppy to Dillon for a FREE rebuild.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dillon Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 To figure out where lube is lacking, remove the set screw from the bottom of the shaft and press out the short cross pin that connects the crank to the bottom of the shaft. Now, you can push up on the bottom of the shaft to see it it is binding, you can pivot the crank on the lower pivot pin, and you can grab the crank and pivot the link arms on the upper pins. Use grease on the pivot pins and indexing ring, use 30 wt motor oil on the shaft. There is a 650 lubrication iad on the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
