I picked up a used Lee 3 hole turret press with manual index and a bunch of dies for pretty cheap. I am getting everything setup and cleaned up and I realize that the case doesn't want to feed into the die straight. Its hits the edge of it.
I start disassembling everything to see whats going on and I find the culprit...The linkage that connects to the bottom of the ram is worn out. There is a steel pin that goes through the bottom of the ram and rides in the two piece aluminum linkage. The holes in the linkage it rides in are egged, severely.
I cant seem to find the right replacement parts on Lee's website or anywhere else. Do they not make those parts anymore?
Is it worth trying to fix or should I just move on to something better?
I got 3 sets of pistol dies in the quick change turrets, about 4 extra turrets, two Lee hand presses, a factory crimp die, a few shell holders, two cast bullet sizing dies and a few other items, along with the press for $100.
Also, please forgive me about not knowing too much about the Lee stuff, I started out with RCBS.
I have the press on the right, and I need the piece on the very bottom.
