Clicker help

[tmroper]

I think it is a schwabe 25 ton mechanical clicker

I have a clicker that I have used very little I tried to click out a piece and it locked up on the down stroke. I have gotten the die out and leather and tried to turn the large wheel but it is still locked up. The previous owner said that it did this from time to time however I would like to fix it. Any help from previous experience would be appreciated.

I'm sorry the clicker is an ideal cicker model c

one more bit of info on this machine when you turn the flywheel the upper platen (head whatever it is called, the part that pushes the die into the leather) is still engaged and comes up and down so it makes the wheel hard to turn and you cannot turn the machine on. Hopefully someone has someone has some experience with this and/or can direct me to where I could get a manual

Thanks

Hello,

I saw that this is an old question.

I did not see it before.

Did you get it fixed ?

I have an mechanical clicker that a had a similar problem.

If you still need info let me know maybe I can help.
