Nice collection! When this vocal crap is over I’ll be looking for a bull!
i have a Ferdco 6/6, Singer 97-10, Singer 153w103, Union Lockstitch, Landis 3, 51 post bed double needle and a Singer 31-15
Who can tell us what Ferdco to their version of the 441 by Juki that makes it different than everybody else’s? I’m interested in buying one, and want to know what they have tweaked… I do believe they’re rated for 7/8” inch sewing thickness, but what else have they done?
I know this is an old thread, but I’ve got this machine now as well! (Not his) but one like it!
there are three places top tension can be adjusted...
1 far right coming off the spool.
2 the second or middle disk that thread loops around...
3 is on the needle bar just above the left of the needle... where the thread runs through the flat bar...
stitch length is adjusted by the big black knob, then needs to be set and locked in the back with the bolt that bumps up to it!
as far as your stitching, this machine isn’t set up for the intricate turns you’re making! I’d suggest a compound feed walking foot to do the tooled leather...
I use a 153w103.
if you’ve ever seen the movie “8 Seconds” you’ll see my name in the credits as one of the chap makers...

Where’s your YouTube channel? I just bought one of these... I may have screwed up by just buying the head, and not having the table shipped? Tell me about this exhaust system!
If you do decide to part out, I’d like dibs on the Luberto stitcher and Randal splitter...
as per our phone call I won’t get back home till mid week with my truck driving... still interested in the lot... just need to check with the bank!
