Lee Load All maintenance

[Ace Caliente 0]

Quick question - is there any recommended maintenance for the Lee Load All? The documentation I have seems to only talk about operation and considerations for different situations, but nothing about maintaining the machine. I was thinking of using some lithium grease on spring and hinges, but couldn't find much of anything online about this subject.

Use 30W oil. Put a drop or 2 on all pivot/contact points.

Grease gets real stiff in winter time.

When you say 30W oil are you talking about conventional motor oil SAE 30?

I"ve never 'mantained' mine yet, it just keeps going. and going.and going.

Lithium grease on the upright tubes and the pivot points on the handle.

I bought a spare size and was guide.

I also spoon my powder.  Just my thing.

On a similar thought, does the Lee Load All resizing die wear out? 

After loading 4,000 rounds on mine, just wonder if that should be replaced from time to time?

And be sure to keep it clean. Best maintenance you can do on ANY equipment.

CLEAN? I guess after 10 years I give it a lube job.
