  1. Your pile of "STUFF: isn't big enough.
  2. I am in Saskatchewan. I think it is time to sell my machines and tools, age and health are helping in making this decision. I am wondering where would be a good place to advertise so the RIGHT people will see the ad. I realize nobody from a 2000 plus Kms. is likely to come for these things. Thank you in advance for any suggestions. Mods. If this violates rules delete this post.
  3. Not sure why you choose to waste so much good original leather. I have fixed lots of those exact problems. Just oil the original fenders to restore them like they should have been taken care of. Then glue and sew with thin thread a thin patch on the outside and sew a piece of seatbelt from a car on the inside. NO stitching across, only along the direction of pull. Seatbelt is so thin you never notice it and can only be seen when looking on the inside. Patch on outside is barely noticeable.
  4. I am only telling you my experiance. I used a metric thread gauge and it matched exactly. Then I took one screw that there were 2 alike and tried a metric nut on and it fit just as good as on the metric screw. SO, if that worked here it might work for some others on at least some screws. These were from machines that had never been touched. Some were from a machine my mother bought NEW almost a 100 years ago. If you look at and read the link you sent me you will see that what I said is true. it SAYS MANY of the singer screws match other systems. SOME do not.
  5. Private message sent.
  6. I realize this post started a long time ago. BUT, I have worked on 29k and 31k15 machines and much to my surprise, haven't found a screw yet that doesn't match a metric size. Both thickness and thread pitch. Get a metric thread gauge and see if the ones you need match.
  7. Thank you for your replies. It gives me some assurance that they should be good.
  8. Have any of you bought sewing machine parts from Amazon? If so were you satisfied. I am looking to buy some bobbins and feet.
  9. When my Singer 29k patchers made a mess like that it was shuttle timing. Not going far enough for the thread to slip around. I had to set the timing so the hook went a bit farther. Haven't had any trouble since.
  10. One more detail to add to that picture and description. I put a 1 1/2 inch pulley on the motor.
  11. Thank you for posting it. Hope it helps somebody.
  12. I have tried many times to contact Collage sewing and always get a message invalid phone number. what can I be doing wrong? I searched google on how to enter a phone number to another country and doing that did not work either.
  13. Thank you. Please tell me if you have anything.
  14. I posted a picture some time ago and since I didn't know how to resize them it took up all my allowance and can't post anymore. BUT if someone would message me I would text them to them and they could post them for me. I am NOT very digital so have trouble posting some things.
  15. It looks to me like those parts are likely the same as on an Adler 20-2. I have a 20-2 and have extras of some of the parts you need.
