Hi,
I've got a machine like yours but a later model (cream-colored). It's driven by a servo motor from Global at 750 Watt.
As a belt I have chosen a 8 mm Polyurethane (green) like this one: https://www.ebelting.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_3&products_id=135&zenid=5a0b06vqsrcbknlgn2v0f46f47
This arrangement works beautyfully!

For those on continental Europe intressted in this servo motor (Kinedyne), this might be a supplier of your choice.
I send an email to them (first to Kinedyne to get info on their representative in Europe) to ask for price etc. Got an answer at last - see below - but I had not the patience to wait and bought a servo motor from Global instead. By the way I have none affiliation what so ever with this company.
The email from them:

Well, it turned out that my suspicions were totally wrong. The firm Silac S.R.L. (https://silacsew.com/en_US/) situated in Livorno, Italy, did send all the ordered and paid in advance items. These were highly professionally packed and labled. Hook was original with hologram.
So in fact this firm can be recommended as an supplier of sewing machine parts on continental Europe (no custom fees as is the case with british supplierers).
One should though clarify in advance as how long delivery will take. Communication about this was absent in my case, maybe even due to me not asking before ordering or they not giving notice of long delivery time in the process.

I ordered some spare parts for my Pfaff 545 at a company Silac (https://silacsew.com/) and paid the full amount according to their invoice. The company is said to be placed in Livorno, Italy.
Since then I have not received the ordered items. On my inquieries (via email) about the whereabouts of the items I have not got any sensible answer.
I have been informedd (after inquiering) by Pfaff in Germany, that they have got the items in stock in Germany, but that they did not have gotten any order for those items from Silac.
This leads me to the conclusion that I probably placed my order at a fraudulant company.
Does anyone of you know this company and their performance as a sewing machine / parts deliverer?
There exists an american website: https://silac-america.com/. -
... well it can be from left to right also. Have a look here:

Hi,
this is an old Pfaff machine.
Please keep in mind that the "S" in "BS" is for the german "Stoffe" that is fabric. So this machine was not intended for leatherwork.
Needle - presumably (like the Pfaff 130 and 138) - from front to back (that is threading). Needle's flat side to the rear.

Hi,
I am thinking of attaching a non-movable binder attachment to my Pfaff 335. The reason is to make it easier to switch between sewing "normally" versus sewing binding.
Would it be possible to attach a binder (e.g. KHF2) directly to the KB69 Bracket Part (https://www.khsew.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=2227&search=bracket+part)? The KB69 (12mm) can be attached to the arm of Pfaff 335.Are there any big dis-advantages of choosing a non-movable binder for the Pfaff 335 (if it is at all feasable) instead of a moving one?

I recently bought an adler 205-370 and would like to buy a moving binder set.
Kwok Hing offers one for the juki 441 but they claim it also fits the adler 205.
https://www.khsew.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=1902
Is that possible? are feed dogs and needle plate for the juki 441 and adler 205 Exchangable?
Thanks in advance
Michiel
Isn't this what you are looking for?

ok You must enlarge the hole in both the feed dog and the throat plate to accommodate #138 thread. I always increase the top tension when using the #138. Also, where the thread goes in both the back and front of the finger tag as it clears the tab on each stitch, I slight shorten the tab as as well as round the corn slightly. This allows the thicker thread to better clear the tab on each stitch.
As to the parts list, the one i have for your machine is from 1989. That is the one for your specific machine. I have 335 parts list from 1950- 2017.

Thank you, Glenn. I thought there was more to it.
As to the parts list. I have a parts list "Pfaff 335" "Bestandteileliste" with no "No. 296-12-14075/1077". Is this the list that you refer to as from 1989?

The manual you got is from a Pfaff series older than the machine you purchased. It will work though. I think I have a later copy as well.
glenn
Hi Glenn,
I thought so. I would love to look at your - newer - copy.
Could you disclose the modification needed for the use of #138 thread ?

I have bought a Pfaff 335 exactly like @Heard's two months ago. With the machine came an original Pfaff instruction book, which I scanned into a file. Total size is 45 MB, so I cannot attach the file here. Is there an other option to upload the file in some other place?
@shoepatcher could you describe how to use #138 thread and the few modifications?
... managed to squeeze the file. Instruction book for Pfaff 335 old casing.

*ATTENTION*
Thanks everyone, problem is solved! Like @Uwesaid, at some point the outer presser bar was adjusted to accommodate aftermarket feet (probably due to the feet that were available in the 90s).
For those who come here with the same issue. There is a collar on the rear presser bar with two set screws that determines the height of the outer foot. You need to temporarily disconnect the upper knee lift linkage and a lifting bracket to access the set screws. Loosen the set screws and you can lower the rear presser foot to just above the needle plate. Reassemble and the outer presser foot should be resting just above the needle plate, ready to sew!
This is nicely illustrated in this video:

Does anyone know this company (https://www.miketony.com.tw/en/product-c34798/Hook-And-Shuttle-Hook.html)?
Reputation?

Contec, a sewing machine dealer in Poland, apparently has the very needlebar you are looking for:

I too have a Pfaff 545 H4.
If you do a search for the german word for needlebar "Nadelstange" you will get some results; for instance:
I hope that this could be of help for you.

These hooks, produced in Japan (https://www.college-sewing.co.uk/hpf151-hook-base-pfaff-145-hirose.html). Are they not supposed to be of better quality?

No answer, what a pitty.
I have a Pfaff 335 with Erz. Nr. (which, as I understand, is an abbrevation for "Erzeugnis Nummer = product number) "901-0335-044/001".
I do not know if this is a H2, H3 or H4 machine or has classification B/C M N.
The problem is how to translate these Erz. Nr. to the usual subclass numbers (as -17/03 or -40/03) or B/C-classification.I could buy a used Pfaff 1245 with Erz. Nr. 901-0335-044/01, but I stay away buying this machine because I do not know if it has the classification CPMN etc.
So there are these Pfaff machines - mostly those cream-colored ones with brown front plate - where Pfaff did not imprint the usual B/C M N etc, but only the Erz. Nr.
This is utterly frustrating!

That's too bad to hear. Well I had to pay in advance by bank transferal (SEPA). Had contact with them via e-mail and they billed me via e-mail with invoice attached. It took ages before I got the parts and communications with them was really bad. I too was wondering if this company was real.
Hope you will get the parts. Maybee good idea to point out for them that they will get a bad reputation by doing buisness this way by simply refering to this forum thread?
