Was Help!! Now she runs!!!!
Hey Guys,
We took our Belt Loader apart and cleaned her up and gave her a new set of needles. I've played with the needles and got them adjusted and really tighten them down. Then we start loading and got 20-30 rounds to load up then the round would go under the belt and hang on the shoulder of the round. This would lock up the loader, then after playing with it a couple of times it would load 10 or so rounds and then do it again. Checked the needles and they came loose again. We had to tweek the spring the puts the pressure on the needle holder to get them to float right, I did put one of the star wheels on backwards but the sheet that you guys posted this week helped fix that one.
Any ideas why the needles are coming loose?? I'll put some lock tight on them and let the sit over night and see how it goes. The spring that pushes in on the needles helped a lot and having the needles adjusted helped for a few rounds, any suggestions would be greatly appriciated. Thanks.
