Singer 29K51

[kdebelser]

I have found a parts manual, but still need a operator/service manual. Can anyone help with a e-copy?

Thanks so much, really enjoy the site.

http://www.horsenharness.com/SINGER.html These guys sell parts but they also have PDF's with operation manuals / owners manuals that work for the 29-4, the 29k-51 isn't much different so pick one up from them. They have been a huge help to me.

I once uploaded 2 nice & clear manulas in this thread maybe they are helpful for you.

I have a patcher 29K51 sitting in a repair shop and all work has stopped, because we can't find the last missing piece to get this machine to work…it just will not produce a stitch!

Apparently we need a new gear box (the long thing sitting underneath the patcher's arm).

So far, I have not been able to find one.

Does this gear box have to be made for the K51 only, or is it interchangeable with other singer patcher models?

I am not even sure, that it really needs a new gear box…perhaps the timing needs to be adjusted…but how?

Any thoughts on this mystery would be greatly appreciated!

@hilton1, go to this site, http://www.horsenharness.com/SINGER.html and get the phone number, call them and talk with someone about it, they are the most knowledgeable people about the old singer 29k parts I know, and they have helped me out in the past.

Also, they have the original owners manual and that helped me a great deal with getting mine to run. I thought I needed more parts too, but it turns out, I was just threading it wrong! I ordered the threading wire and mine runs like a top now.

Pretty much all the 29k- (whatever-s) are interchangeable I do know that, and all the models barely changed throughout most of its life, I used parts for my 1908 29-4 from a 1927 29k-58.

Also, this guy did a bit of a walk through blog getting his 29-4 running, and i used his pattern to make a flat wood table like his for flat leather work. http://rickaverill.com/scope-covers-picture/singer-29-4/

Good luck!

Thank you so much! I'll be sure to check them out!

I may end up selling my patcher…Just bought a Pfaff and it is currently my workhorse.

Any idea where to post my 29K51 if I decide to offer it for sale?

Thanks again to everybody at Leatherworker, your help and wisdom is awesome.

@hilton1 Not sure what they will give you for it but the horse harness folks will buy your machine, or post here, or eBay.
