Thanks heaps for your reply. I will google the manuals and start from there.

Google for parts diagram of the pfaff 545. Find the other post here for pfaff 545 and also 1245. Others, including me we already wrote and linked a lot of info how to time it. Feet will be the same as for 1245. Same is for hook and bobbin case, but you need to choose the right one according to your subclass (H3). 0) check this forum, 99% is already here 1) get parts diagram and find missing parts 2) compare it to 1245 to find some equivalents. 3) go to ebay/amazon /Aliexpress and get what you can 4) if something is still missing you will have to do more research 5) use pfaff 1245 engineering manual for timing it 6) ask here for what is missing

Thanks for your suggestion. I managed to delete some of the images, successfully. I downloaded the parts list and I find it very puzzling to know what are the missing parts 😳

thank you for your anwser, Ill probably try to resell it or give it away regardless of what it is because I simply dont want my shoes smelling like this 😂 it was cheaper than most neatsfoot oil... (30 bucks a liter whereas other oils were between 40 and 55), so I guess it was adultered with something... it does WORK very well though, perhaps a little bit better than the other oils, but the stench overcomes that fact. I tried it on my meast favourite pair of boots and the stench didnt go away (yet anyway) I guess Ill try to use another strong scented product to mask the smell like some shoe-wax or something

I might have something that'll work. I'll look and post pics when I get home.

Ha, ha! I guess it lives up to the name in the hands of some riders. Thanks for your kind words, Ron. Thank you, @JDFred. Already planning the next one in my head.

Well, you've got multiples of the same pictures, it would help if you cleaned that up while the edit window is open. This post is quite a bear on mobile. Then a list of what parts you're looking for would help. I'm sure there's a parts diagram somewhere you could work from. Australia is really going to complicate it, but who knows ... ?

Hello everyone, I bought this machine to salvage and bring it back to sew again. I have multiple industrial sewing machines that are working well for me. I never attempted to fix a machine before. The maximum I have done was change motors from clutch to servo. So I am very excited about learning how to do it and get to expand my knowledge with your help guys. I stumbled upon this one on marketplace and I went to check it out. It was used at some point to sew in a mattress factory. As far as the person that sold it to me, he’s not sure what happened to it before it stopped working. It doesn’t have any feet or anything apart from the side plate. Unfortunately, it’s missing some parts, as per our discussion. I would like to be able to get the missing parts, preferably from Australia. It would be greatly appreciated, if you can help me to bring it back to life.

Sounds like it might be compounded neatsfoot oil, this is pure NF mixed with petroleum-based oils. It can be made cheaper because it's effectively diluting the NF with (relatively) cheap mineral oils. It will still work on leather but most leatherworkers prefer the pure stuff. If it's compounded it should mention it on the labei. A google search for P Paulin doesn't come up with anything.

@shoepatcher Do i needle to drill hole and thread with tap for screw to hold it or just it has tight fit , please advise....

You just took care it. Thanks for listing it here.

All the Tandy pattern packs. They've discontinued many of them. Not enough value to retire on but worth several $$$ each Any old leather how-to-do books, especially ones on carving

Looks like you hit the jackpot with that hoard. It's a goldmine of useful information. Thats the problem having lots of hobbies each with a lot of tools or "stuff" associated with each. I hope we'll all be around long enough to enjoy them for a while longer.

Very nice sheath. I like the tooling and that welt. What a nice gift.

He's a heavy equipment mechanic. They don't mind a scratch on the fender of a crane. Lol I will definitely keep this in mind! Didn't know there was such a a thing!

Beautiful work as always. Don’t let the keyboard warriors get you down the bridle is just a tool like any other, in the wrong or inexperienced hands it can cause problems. As you and Jonas already pointed out it is the riders responsibility to ensure proper tack and gear fitment. Keep up the good work.

The machine is sold. I dont know how to close the thread or mark this as sold in any other way.

Tandy has these 2 prong strap hooks. https://tandyleather.ca/collections/buckles/products/2-prong-strap-hook-solid-brass. The single prong "Mechanics Buckle" I got from https://springfieldleather.com/products/buckle-mechanics

You did!

I found one of my mistake and corrected.But there are still problems. I was trying to attach numarator disk(56032) without removing the screw rod(50338). First I removed 50338 from machine and then attached 56032 to it. After that insert them into machine ,then pin and spring. Now, numarator part is working but although I attached the reverse pedal connector(52409) to the fork type metal part(52408) when I try to start machine, reverse pedal lever drops down and stitch moves backwards. I think there is no suitable connection between reverse lever and numerator part. How can I do this?

Is there a groove under that collar to set the position of the collar?

Yes and I red that the Consew is actually a clone of the singer 153w102.

Thank you AlZilla

thank you I will! That is awesome specially when it comes down to the price. Thanks Glenn

Can you post photos and/or videos? I don't have a machine like this for comparison. Perhaps by seeing the actual parts someone will be able to suggest how to put them back together.
