Did you mean a mpc4500 feed unit in a mpc4501 or did you mean a mpc4501 feed unit in a mpc4500?
Or did you mean to say something entirely different maybe.

Incredibly risky! Have a fire extinguisher at the ready!

The C4501 uses a Paper Feed Belt Assy instead of a Pick Up Roller. I know the C2800 Feedhead Assy works in the C4500.

I use the red AF03xx85 rollers on all models from 2500 to 5502.

Hey Impetus73 what is the yield difference between the AF03-0085 and the AF03-0090 tires. According to the price, the 0085 tires to replace a set is less than half the cost of replacing a set of 0090 tires.

Yes, and replace the stinkin pickup belt with the urethane roller.

Re: Ricoh MP C4500 Feed assembly

Im not sure if they work, the 4501 uses the same parts in the feed construction as your B&W MP5000 and MP4000 models the D009 parts with only a few of the B223 part numbers most of which only reference to the same as the MP4000 series. The parts in the manual for the c4500 dont even have the same numbers for the guide flaps so not really sure they would cross over, plus the c4500 was noisy as hell they always sounded like paper was being shredded or crinkled when it fed i think they even did a design change in there on that one.

You could probably pull a MP5000 or LD050 we use lanier numbers. As for the rollers i concur with dropping that crappy belt thing and putting on the 85s or 90s instead.

Thanks e everyone for the answers. the feed assembly for the 4501 and 4500 are different. One will not work in the other.

Thanks again everyone
