    Finally found it, it is mentioned in the manual at "To Adjust The Reversing Mechanism". Why there? :dunno:

    However, though I adjusted it I do not get full 5 SPI out of it when forward + reverse have the same stitch length.

    I can even adjust it to a longer forward stitch but then the reverse stitches are shorter.

    Is there something like "secret screw" that only knows the advanced Singer Mechanic?

    IT'S ALIVE - IT'S ALIVE!!! HA HA!!! :dance:

    Seems it was the little hint with the two arrows. I just timed the hook a little bit again and - it sews!

    Yet, it only sews by turning the wheel by hand but it makes nice stitches and feeds well. Now it's time to oil it thoroughly.

    But for some reason something moves up & down the reverse lever a little bit but that is probably because it needs oil at some spots.

    Not sure if I´m done but I will report after oiling it.

    For now THANK YOU SO MUCH Geneva, Wizcrafts, Gottaknow & CowboyBob :thumbsup: but I may have some other questions later.

    Now its time for timing. But how to start?

    As I said I had to replace the timing belt. I just put it on an tried make settings by reading the Manual but my technical English is not very good and the pictures in the manuals are too dark do not help me very much.

    So I first tried to set the stitch length, that was the 1st thing that did not work. Maybe I misunderstood something. I pushed the left pin on the bed and turned to handwheel towards me. No movement at all, the only thing that happened was that the safety clutch poped out.

    Okay, I knew there is a video on youtube of how to put it back in. I figured that my clutch has no slotted screw but instead it has a flat bolt. So I tried it on my own. This ended up in removing the clutch from the shaft. And I figured I can just pop the clutch back while putting a lever (screw driver) between the 2 pins and push it back in - worked well. I hope I did not damage anything doing it this way. However the V shaped metal tongue is back in the V shaped notch and there is no play, it fits tight in there!

    So thats the point where I'am - the belt is still off and the clutch is set again.

    At this point I think it would be the easiest way to time the machine. So I think when I but the needle bar and the feed dog in a certain positions and then but the belt back on it probably should work.

    Good Idea or bad Idea? Anyway, I have no clue of what to start with so I really could use some help.

    I just decided to sell my well running Pfaff 238.

    Has 220V clutch motor with 2" pulley.

    Shipping to EU countries is preferred but will ship worldwide but have to figure out how much shipping would be. Worldwide shipping (except the EU) is without the table.

    Just listed it on Ebay

    Will also sell outside Ebay. Drop me a note if you are interested.

    Hi Folks,

    I´m not new here, I registered about 1 year ago already but this is my 1st post. I´m not sure If I have to introduce my self somewhere, If so I will do later. ;)

    I´m currently working with an ADLER 104 with roller foot and I just bought a Singer 111G156 (walking foot).

    The mechanics of the machine is quite clean but the timing belt is torn so I have to replace it. Otherwise is seems to be in okay condition. Well, its probably not as I have no experience with a walking foot machine. So I have to figure out what is going on with this machine.

    So the 1st question is - how can I replace the timing belt?

    From my understanding the easiest way would be to remove the hand wheel and then remove the axle bearing and then squeeze the belt through the hole. I´m probably wrong with that so I would appreciate to get some advise from some experienced mechanics.

    I will post some pictures of the machine later today.
