Needle Plate Question

[BROD239]

Hi everyone,

please could me anybody tell if can I fix the needle plate /spare part 82234/ by my 29k62 with screw /sp.p.:84W/ to the Gear Box.

Thanks/Pavel

Should work. Both are small bobbin machines. I don't have my parts list in front of me. What machine was the needle plate #82234 made for? . If it is the big bobbin machine, they are normally a little longer and wider than the needle plates for the small bobbin machine. The other problem may be in the needle screw. Assuming the 29K62 still has the treaded hole where the needle screw #84 goes, it will work. Some 29K62 machines had the newer hinge stud with the set screw to hold the needle plate down. All 29 class machines up to the late 29K58, 60, 62 used the #84 throat plate screws. Later models may or may not have the hinge stud and set screw. Best way to check is to see if there is a threaded hole in the front of the horn below the throat plate hole. If there is, it uses a stud and set screw. if not, it uses screw #84.

Hi Glenn,

Needleplate 82234 is for 29k71/smal bobbin/ and is therefore for hinge stud.

The question is...if the bolt-head of the #84 has to same dimensions as the stud-head and is a possibility fix these plate with#84.

No,

The horn built for a hinge stud has no threads like the earlier horns that had a threaded hole for the screw #84. That thread size by the way is 3/16" x/28 pitch or roughly a 10 x 28. The normal pitches for screw size #10 is 24 tpi for the coarse and 32tpi for the fine. the 28pitch is an odd ball. Singer did that for good reason so you would have to buy the screws for them!!!

I thank you Glenn for your info.

One screw #84 I have and a possible reserve for a emergency situation too.

I thank you very much/Pavel
