    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.

    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:

    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!
