If it does, then heavily grease the angled bottom of the index lever. You can reach it with a flat blade screwdriver for applying grease if you pull the handle down on the machine, then go to the right rear of the square shaft.

I had a spare index lever assembly in my parts kit so I put it in. It cured the failure to index problem but left me with the difficulty in pulling the lever.
I read all of the Dillon material I had on hand and found the suggestion to grease the angled bottom of the index lever assembly. I did that and it helped, but there is still considerable difficulty, and it has slowed down my reloading speed from close to 350 rounds an hour to no more than a hundred rounds at best.
I might add that there was no grease on the original index lever assembly and it worked very smoothly.
Should I ladle on more grease or is there something else I could do?
