shellplate bolt

I put my shellplate bolt in the shellplate like the book said, snug and the back off just so the plate turns.  But when I turn the plate, the bolt wants to tighten up again.  Has anyone else experienced this?  If I back it off more, it seems like the plate is not tight enough and has some slop.

thanks,

Tom

I use a little blue loctite on mine and that solved the problem I have a high mileage machine and my bolt threads might be worn but it fixed it

There is a brass-tipped set screw in the upper left side of the main ram. After you set the shellplate bolt tension, snug that set screw to prevent the shellplate bolt from tightening.
