  1. Surprisingly, I know what you are talking about...will check that out. Thanks again!!!
  2. UPDATE: March 30, 2011 Bought the 1 1/2" pulley and ordered the smaller belt. Helped a little. Then focused on the alighnment of the foot peddle and the shaft that hooks it to the bar for the motor; moved it over to the right. Now, I have a usable machine!!!! Thank you all for your help! mimi32223
  3. If you are still willing and able, I'd love the pattern for the doctors bag. I'd like to make it out of tapestry and leather trim. Bless you! mimi32223 Karen Morsch kemorsch@bellsouth.net
  4. Purchased a 2" pulley from Ace Hdwr. With a little filling of the channel it is now on. Next back to get the belt. Thank you all for your help! I'll keep you posted on the outcome. Thanks again! Mimi
  5. Jovial, So funny! Thanks for your info. I think I can 'pull' this little pulley out of this motor without the 'puller'. I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks for the laugh! I'll have to be sure not to drink any wine before I start taking it apart or putting back together. Wine and ceiling fan installations taught me not to do that! Haha Mimi32223
  6. Please help-I understand what a pulley and belt are but what is a 'puller'? I've searched online and with my local Harbor Freight and can't figure this one out. Thanks! Mimi
  7. Thank you for your information! Did you mean 'require a puller' or did you mean 'require a pulley'? Can I purchase the pulley and belt at Harbor Freight? Any idea what size they both are? Mimi32223
  8. Help! I bought a Tacsew T8700 High Speed Straight Stitch with a Tacsew Clutch Motor Model: RM1878-1H (don't know what the RMP is) when I was doing model home decorating (window treatments, etc). I could never use it as the dang thing takes off like lightning and usually breaks the top thread! The local business I bought it all from said none of it came with a user/maintenace manual. Not surprised as that is the business they are in. I've been reading here about speed reducers. Can anyone help me tame this wild beast!?? BTW, I've been sewing for over 40 years and am very good with machines and electronics....the owner came to my house and charged me $90.00 to tell me that I shouldn't have bought an industrial sewing machine if I didn't know how to use one!!!! I bought it from him....some customer service this guy! Also, I'd really like to trade it for a walking foot head that will sew leather, fine to thick. Thanks and good wishes to all who read this, Mimi32223
