Today had the connecting rod come off that connects the shoe to the eccentric shaft. Came off on both sides. really plugged things up before I noticed it. Got them put back on and the machine unplugged and ran it abit and they were both almost off again. came off on the bushing end not the sealed bearing end. have been running the f series for years and never had a problem before. can't see any problem that could be causing this. When they are on everything seems to be doing what its supposed to. There is nothing that I could see that holds them on. the only thing I can think of is that the flange that holds the sealed bearing on is worn and allowing the rod to drift sideways.
Anyone ever have a problem with this ? I made a collar with a set screw for each side but haven't tried it in the field yet.
