Old lee turret press help

[Wolfdog91]

Bought this for cheap with a bunch of turret heads. Wanted to try and use it for playing with bulk loading but the handle on it is stupid small. No leverage at all , can barely size a piece of well lubed .223. anyone happen to know what press this is and where a guy could get a longer handle? Most of the new one seem not to have the same handle connection set up

Appears to have been cut down. Have you contacted Lee Precision for a replacement?

Handle breakage was common with that one. I don't have a model number though. As Ken said, contact Lee. The link arms on yours seem to break often. Replace the arm or make something longer and use it for pistol cases.

Could you remove the ball and post a picture?

Yeah...not factory spec. Someone did a little grinding. It either broke or someone had a 'brilliant' idea. Like others said, call Lee.

That is an original model of the 3 hole Value Press with the Auto Advance. They have all been disco'd and no longer supported by Lee. That used the same handle as all 3 and some 4 hole Lee turret presses with that red base and also the old model Pro1000.

Check ebay. I do have one but not certain I want to part with parts, again as new replacement parts are NLA. Also save that Auto advance as that too is NLA and almost impossible to obtain.

It looks like you could just take the handle off and make an extention to get more leverage. That would be my first move if it was mine is take off the ball and make a extention with a lathe no problem just turn a female thread on one end of 3/4 shaft and a male on other end.
That's aluminum if steel half inch would work.
