Hi all,
I purchased a 545-H3 off Facebook Marketplace several weeks ago. I have several Pfaff 130s and other older domestic machines but this is my first time owning an industrial one. It has been sewing ok, definitely needs a new belt and some tweaks on the tension, but otherwise it's doing well.
I got some thread caught in the bobbin basket a few days ago, and as I was taking a closer look at the machine after removing the thread, I realized just how filthy the internals of the machine are. Both the lower gears and the upper gear assembly are caked in grease and dust and lint, and although the machine has been running fine, I would like to clean it up and give it some oil. My question is, how difficult would it be to remove some parts to clean them? How far should I go? I took my Singer Featherweight completely apart once, but that is a very simple machine with many many resources online that walk you through the process. I'm having trouble even finding diagrams and instruction for timing the 545. Any tips or resources on disassembling/cleaning would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
