Square Deal not indexing
Quote from Reloader on May 12, 2013, 10:12 pmI have a brand new SDB. At first I messed up and had primers all over the place. I think I have that worked out. Just now, the shellplate quit indexing. I took out all the brass, primers, etc and pulled the handle a few times to see what was happening.
It looks like the indexing finger that comes up from the bottom is too far toward the back of the machine so it does not come up in one if the holes of the shellplate. therefore when it tries to advance the shellplate, it just slides along the bottom.
The indexer looks a little loose because if i use a very small blade screwdriver and reach into the side of the press and help line up the indexer, it indexes the plate forward fine.
It's almost like the indexer has too much wobble in it and needs to be tightened up.
I indexed it dozens of times while I was setting the powder drop.
Any ideas?

The bolt that holds the indexing finger in place was very loose. I had to remove the several items to get the main moving assembly of the press to slide out the bottom. This allowed access to the bolt holding the indexing finger in. I snugged it up, put everything back together and all is well now.
If someone needs more details, contact me.
Thanks,

The index lever (part 13724) is loose, and I think that the screw (part 14014) needs to be tightened to keep the index lever from wobbling. The screw seems to be inaccessible and I need instructions on how to fix this problem.John L.
