I have the loadmaster and the six pack pro . My LM is for 9mm and six pack is for my 223. I was thinking of getting the frankford x10 press. But I think I’m going with another six pack .
Did you cut out the mesh on the sides or just sandwich ply on both sides of the mesh? I am currently planning a build and I really like this because there is minimal welding involved. I have friends to ask but would like to minimize having to do that.
I've had every press lee has made they are all junk except turret press and pro 1000 is only lee presses that have work for me . I have been looking at 6 pack pro waiting and listening to people's opinions, it looks like 6 pack pro is no different than all lee presses no instructions, and you have to modify everything. Why don't lee fix all the bugs before they release to public? After weeks months of modifications you finally get it running smoothly. God forbid you change calibers then you'll have to tinker for days before you getting going smoothly.
So, i saw on your website that the Toro didn't make it. This is the simple conversion i was looking for for my Craftsman YT3000. The compression release broke in the engine so i fixed it but made an error putting it back together and stripped a couple holes. So, i went and bought a new mower with intentions of fixing the old one. Anyway, i thought I'd try an electric conversion. Do you think a less HP motor would work and also not destroy the transmission? Or perhaps some sort of speed controller to regulate the motor's power? Great content. The front mounted deck looks great.
@@chrisfoxwell4128 there is a complete rear axle assembly with integral motor available for lawn tractors. A search would reveal the source. This might be your best option. Good luck
My John deere 420 engine has crapped out and I'm seriously considering converting it to electric with the same configuration as yours. I also want to keep the hydrolic functions for all the attachments. But I need to figure something out with the PTO. Maybe adding a second motor for that perhaps?
@@roybertalotto6355 it's for the front PTO which powers the mower deck or the snowblower depending of the season. Defining the type of motor is the hardest part.
I just got a lee six pack pro press ...so far having issues with 223 falling so I need a case door like yours but cant seem to find any online ...the next issue is the inline bullet feeder the bullets wont feed into the die sometimes and I need to grab it and kinda click it to get it to drop into the die ...another issue is i guess lee now uses 2 shell guides on the press instead of the one with the riser so you gotta take off the riser and put it back on when swapping calibers and I have a heck of a time with the spring on that trying to unhook it ...primers get stuck under the plastic ring for smaller cases ...this is my first progressive press so maybe it is user caused error ..but the shell door is just a upgrade lee should make ...you said in a video you can buy a door like yours ..where can you find them? I seen one sold by shopwithbordem website but it looks much smaller
Very nice . Built a trailer for my wife and I to use for our camping gear . Not nearly as nice as yours but it works . We carry a lot of stuff . Thinking of building it up more to get stuff off the tung . Also hookup solar to run frig while traveling.
I’ve always stuck welded, but I picked up the titanium flux 125 from harbor freight, the settings are nothing but gibberish but man does it weld like butter on thin metal! Plus the fact it runs off my engine drive is extremely nice for repair work.
Yes, but there is so much power I can't even run the motor on 48V./ I have to run it on 36V! Don't know what I'd do with another 20%. With tractors, its all about weight/traction. I have this tractor a bit over 1200 pounds and still spins the tires!

Ive reloaded BP roll crimped 10 gauge plastic hulls over 8 to 10 times now and the hulls are still going strong. Never re trimmed shorter yet. I had a few that a pellet burnt through the plastic hulls when firing. Those get tossed out. Great idea!!!! I keep trimming mine with a razor blade pounded into a dowel. Never get an even edge. I might have to stick a screw in the end of the dowel. Maybe it will help with more of an even cut vs just indexing on the wood dowel edge?
@@roybertalotto6355 I guess I don’t understand what you’re asking. If you’re talking about tearing down existing ammunition that hasn’t been shot I’ve just taken a small flathead screwdriver and slowly pried up the inside lip all around it until it opens up. The only reason I’ve done that is if I did a poor roll crimp and it didn’t turn out good or if I decided to tear down a few loads that didn’t pattern a darn, and I had a few extra loaded up.
@@tedvolz9674 sorry, Im not aware of any all inclusive videos. It is basically three steps. Firstvyou need a 230v circuit, second the wireing of the 3 phase motor and third the mechanical mounting of the motor. All three phases can be found individually on youtube. Good Luck
I use powdered graphite. I have it on the case slider ramp and on the primer slider and trough. Very very small amount spread it with a tiny paint brush then hit it with a bit of compressed air. I have the silver layer bullet and case feeder and I put a bit in the feeder tubes then ran a couple patches with a cleaning rod and bullets and brass just fly down the tubes now
The reason Lee uses a spring instead of a solid rod is because if the primer or case feed sticks, the spring will buckle or elongate before any parts are broken.
Yes, it still needs to "stretch" but it does not ever need to collapse. Very poor design made better with a simple addition of an aluminum tube over the spring. Thanks for watching. Appreciate it!
Thanks for sharing Roy. I may have to look into a belt like this for my drill press. Any suggestions and how to get a grinder/polisher to not vibrate as much while mounted to a small table via plywood? ✌🏽
Sorry, there is just no substitute for a very heavy table to mount your tools to. But you might try anti-vibration mounting feet/pads. But replacing the plywood with a piece of 1/2" plate steel should do it.
Hello, I am definitely a fan of your awesome set up. However, I have a couple of questions. I hope you can help me with. I love the fact that the trailer has been constructed with a low center of gravity with the rooftop tent mounted lower for easier access. However, I was wondering what type of steel you were using For the uprises and also the base of the rooftop tent. Are you using angle iron or box steel.?I am concerned about the steel or weld cracking with the movement of the trailer on the road. Also, are you running a torsion? Axle or leafspring. My other thought was to convert my 7 x 12 cargo trailer and mount the rooftop tent on the roof. But this leads to mobility issues of accessing the rooftop tent as well as changing the center of gravity. Any information will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance Jim.
Thanks for the kind words. The entire structure was fabricated from 2" x 2" X 3/16" angle iron, MIG welded as needed. Never an issue with it cracking. The trailer is using leaf springs as it was a store bought (Tractor Supply) type trailer. I would have preferred torsion axles, but it is what it is. I sold that trailer and mounted the RTT on the top of my pickup truck cap which put it about 8' high. Yes, at 70 years old it was a bit much to get in and out. And a rear bear to fold it all up and put the cover on. I sold it and bought a Nest Falcon clam shell unit. MUCH easier to fold up and no cover to install. But then I sold that and went to a small truck camper that you can view on one of my RU-vid videos. Putting a RTT on a cargo trailer should not pose any issues. Those trailers weigh enough that a hundred pounds on the roof won't affect anything. Good Luck!
@@roybertalotto6355 thank you again. I’m going to give your original design a try. I have a utility trailer from tractor supply that I have not been using lately. It looks like it would be the perfect donor trailer for this type of build. I love the fact that the rooftop tent can mount on top of this type of trailer and still have the storage underneath it. And still leave my truck, independent to unhook and go to the store or other places. I love the idea.
I just got the bullet/brass combo. After some set up hiccups and learning curve they work awesome. Also you can use the 45acp brass feeder disc for 38/357. Works flawless. I was having issues with the bullets sticking in the tube. I put a tiny bit of powder graphite on a cleaning patch then ran it thru the tube a couple times and now the bullets just fly down the tube. I’ve got my press in an inline fabrications mount. There are 2 holes in the back of the mount. I drilled a couple holes in the aluminum base bar and then mounted it to the ultra mount. Got a couple of those threaded knobs so I can be removed with no tools. I plan on ordering the swappable feeder heads when funds allow. Boy do I miss the days of 1000 primers for $15 and a pound of powder for $10. I can remember buying 1000 cast bullets at gun show for $10. This was only 20 years ago

Hi there i have my lathe converted (smart& brown) and my bridgeport mill converted in a similar fashion as yours and they work a treat. Thanks for an excellent video on the subject.
@@roybertalotto6355 Hi Roy i should have mentioned i have my drill press running via a cross over switch from the bridgeport mill controller it works a treat well i thought i cant opperate the mill and drill at the same time so why not use the same inverter as the mill. cheers roger musgrove.
