I got my barrel loader wired up today, and used the track clips to affix to the 027 track as prescribed in the repair manual. The track is screwed down through the clips. But the vibration on the loader seems to be the problem as the barrels bounce around and sometimes do not go up very well. I found out that I had to push down on the extension so that the barrels rolled out of the barrel car and onto the loader platform, which has made that part of the operation work better. However the vibrations seem to be worse, and sometimes the extension vibrates off. As far as the extension, I can crimp the ears to try a tighter fit. But what can I do to make the loader work better? The manual mentions a couple of things, but I need to figure out what adjustments need to be made to make the barrels keep from bouncing around and travel up the loader better. I might add that this loader is from 1952, as the underside of the baseplate has to be taken off to get at the parts inside. Also please note, that I have cut down on the voltage as well. Thanks.
