    are you sure it is the gear and not a jammed thread in the hook / bobbin case area?

    ISMACS has a comparative table for old / new sizes of sewing machine needles: https://ismacs.net/singer_sewing_machine_company/singer-needle-sizes-1950.html Hope it helps

    So cool! Reminds me of my former DVSG / BUSMC #6 HM. I sold it a while ago but found a good new home in Great Britain but I´m still looking at the pictures sometimes . I unfortunately had not enough work for it and it took too much space. I oiled mine with 10w40 motor oil. My #6HM took System 331 needles but I´m not sure what the Landis needs. Good luck with this lovely chunk of cast iron!

    Have you checked the manual for that? Looks like there is one included. Bob was a bit faster...

    I would go with the 750W motors. Having more power cannot be wrong.

    Other than that maybe this thread will help.

    How significant is the stitch length difference? Have you compared your stitch length adjuster with the parts list to see if all components are present? I do not know the 269 so I´m just asking - is "bulge" on part #0268 160040 symmetrical? If not try to install it rotated by 180°. It sometimes happens on certain Pfaff machines that this part is installed the wrong way so it affects the stitch length so its probably a similar problem here.

    read the manual for your machine there should be a section for how to increase the height of lift for the lifting and vibrating presser foot

    just yesterday I looked at the spindle on my Singer 108w and it looked like the pin is replaceable. I cross checked another 153w pats list and pound the pin as spare. Parts # is 202443 And I found it online: https://parts.jacksew.com/pin-generic-202443/

    depends on if your local 153 is a walking foot / triple feed machine or a needle feed machine. If it is a walking foot / triple feed then it is not possible but if it is a needle feed machine then there is a workaround then it would work but again its a workaround:

    I have no idea where to get Mitsubishi parts in general but the DU 107 seems to be very similar to the Singer 211 and I would guess that the Singer 211 take up lever could fit depending on the hook / bobbin size. Is the DU-107 a small or large hook machine? I also found a note regarding Mitsubishi on the MJ Foley website. Maybe MJ Foley is a source for your parts. https://mjfoleyco.com/sewing/mitsubishi/ all just guessing...

    have you taken out the bobbin case to see if old thread has compiled and blocks it? could also be that the bobbin case opener and tab on bobbin case block each other. Please post pictures for the hook era.

    would agree to tripped clutch but you see the ball in the small window so just from the picture I´d say it is engaged.

    BTW - the timing belt appears to be in bad shape form what I see it should be replaced. https://leatherworker.net/forum/topic/58040-adler-167-timing-belt-replacement/ Looks like the safety clutch is engaged but maybe it disengaged for some reason anyway this is how to engage it again: https://leatherworker.net/forum/topic/107021-adler-167-gk373-problems/?do=findComment&comment=710134
