Broke!!

[jabo52521]

My LEE three hole progressive press for over 30 years finally broke. She was non-modified nor were any upgrades added. Figured something bad was going to happen when I traded my little LEE single stage press last week. Got to get the rebuild kit and another single.

So, what broke on it ? linkage ? or handle ? or Base ?

[jabo52521]

Linkage. Holes are wallowed out in the cast metal. Never been modified with the steel assembly.

Call Lee and get the steel assembly and you'll be good.

Whats the problem it's a Lee buy another one, they are cheap!

Upgrade to the Classic Cast. Buy once, cry once.

I just gave my three hole Lee turret press to a friend. He was in need but didn't have the extra funds to buy a press. Now I have the excuse to upgrade to the four hole Classic Cast. If your press gave you that many years of service that's great. Upgrade and don't look back.

Thanks for the pearls of wisdom everyone. Member PM'd me and made an offer I couldn't refuse on another 3 holer. Should be at the bench making 45acp in no time.

I disassemble my unmodified 3 holer every 3-4 year's and give it a good cleaning tehn grease as reassembling. had it at least 30 year's now.

I love this place! Almost brings a tear to the eye.

Tim does bring tears to my eyes, we had a three holer down by the creek! My grandpa and his cronnies would go down there and smoke and drink. Us kids would tell on them and grandma would run them out with a broom. Till this day I couldnt figure out how they could stand the smell! Drunk I guess!

You got that right, Tim. Best place on the net to sit a spell.

I agree :)

But I'd kinda like to checkout Grandpa's spot down by the creek...I'm suspectin' there's a still down thar too :)
