Unit is tight
Quote from Reloader on November 25, 2007, 8:41 amI noticed the last time I used my 550B, the ram was tight very hard to use.
What's the remedy to get it back like it should run? And what caused it?

Depending on the age of your loader, you may have to remove the platform and shaft to drive out the upper pivot pins in order to regrease them. Newer machines have needle holes where you can use a needle fitting on a grease gun to lube the upper pins through thelink arms, and the lower pins through the crank. If you have to disassemble your machine to grease these pins, phone us for a punch and a platform alignment tool. Be sure to use grease, not oil.
