Reply to "Problem with lionel oil drum loader"

David:

I misread the original post and was thinking about the point in the action where the drum is dropped into the car.  That said, a similar adjustment to the small extension or tab on the platform part of drum loader itself will make it more cleanly receive the drum from the ramp.  Simply take a pair of needle nose pliers and carefully bend that center tab upward just a bit.  This causes the drum to tilt slightly back toward the loader, keeping it in place for the move to the unloading point.  Once you make this adjustment, you will then need to make the adjustment to the two small tabs Gandy mentions above to ensure the platform will tilt sufficiently to drop the drum into the car.

It has always surprised me how relatively minor adjustments to these accessories can make all the difference between working poorly or working well.
