 Does anyone have a parts list or schematics for the Diamond Pacific tc-14? I have the older Beacon Star tc-14 and would like to know what the parts are called so I can replace as needed. I am especially interested in the power feed system (see photo). Knowing the power feed motor specs also would be nice. Thanks in advance! Not worn or stripped threads, something inside coupler is causing the marks. |

That's a clutch. Believe those threads are intentionally removed. If I remember right... there's a spring loaded plate with 'bars' that fit the V shaped grooves. Nice way of keeping you from stripping threads on the feed rod. Wouldn't hurt to take it apart, make sure the parts aren't seized from years of rock snot in there...

In watching the coupler (or whatever it's called) it will rotate, but the feed shaft will only rotate about a third of the time; with or without a rock to cut. It definitely could be a problem with the clutch. Thanks! |

The actual power feed motor seems to be working ok, so I will attempt to take the spring loaded section apart and see what it looks like. Also on the feed rod itself there is a flat spot on the end that looks like a set screw has been used to hold it, but there is no set screw for it that I can find. |

looks like a set screw on the top left in your photo? the left portion should be anchored to your motor.
