Old[er] press compatibility
Quote from Reloader on April 2, 2018, 4:14 amI am looking at buying a used 650 from a friend who is liquidating all his reloading equipment. He estimates he purchased the press new between 2003 and 2008.
Have there been any changes in design since then?
I intend to purchase some accessories to better automate the process (case feed, powder check, etc.) so I would like to confirm if new accessories will attach to an older press.
Thanks in advance for the expertise!

Somewhere after 2000 we added zerk fittings to both link arm pivot pins, and closed the lube holes in the crank and frame, but that is a minor change. All current XL650 options, conversions, etc, fit the older XL650s.
