For sale are the following parts for the Singer 29k1,4,10,18,21,23,32,33. You might have to check the part number for compatibility with your machine. Shuttle carrier (with screw and spring) - p/n 8605 - €33 Qty-1 Small rack - p/n 8599 - €25 Qty-2 Driving pinion (with screw) - p/n 33513 - €32 Qty-2 Following pinion - p/n 8608 €20 Qty-1 I have tried the parts in a 29k1 and they fit, the rack is very tight so it might need honing on the back side and maybe a little polish in between teeth.. (better that than too slack).

No, because it is not a wheel, they are normal static disks.

I would use a dehumidifier now and again in your basement. That would help keep things drier if there is mildew on the floor. (this wont get rid of it , just keep it at bay a little longer)

I think this is almost identical to the 29k171 apart from the 3 pinion set up, so i think the exploded view for that would be almost identical Chris. I cannot remember seeing an exploded view of the 29k except for the new ones.

Hi there CD, yes that could be a good topic, are Singer marked parts from Singer or not?? I have a couple marked Singer but with also Great Britain stamped alongside. The majority of the parts i have seen up until now say Simanco, it would probably depend on where they were made?? The older 29k´s were stamped Simanco but the newer 29k171 were stamped with Singer Great Britain (I have not checked all the parts on the 171), and some parts from Germany were stamped Singer Made in Germany??

Hi There, just came into some hard to find parts for the 29k series machines and will offer them here first to the LW community. This is a Singer shuttle carrier p/n 82205 for the long arm class 29k60 machines. The copy part from College Sewing will cost you Aprox. €33. price €48

LW member Constabulary has kindly advised that this could be a aftermarket part, so keep this in mind just in case.

Sorry to see that, i know how you feel... I think you might be better off getting someone to weld it back together because finding a flywheel for the 7 might be pretty hard. Good luck.

As Folker said, the attachment is tricky to use (at least for me) as the bottom guide is on the foot and it slides around now and again. But more to the point you cannot use it on your walking foot machine as it was made for a drop foot lockstich machine. I think the clones of the Adler 205 have large binding attachments available for them, you might be able to fit one on your machine.

Very nice job on the machine danhopgood . beware with the bell crank, i think you might need to file again?? same as the feed motion ring, it is a hair thicker so when you put the head back on it jams!! I think i put a sheet of paper in between. Seems like the leading pinion i was on about earlier must have been from another machine?? my mistake, these ones went with a fine pin.

I Have a 29k12 which had the same 3 pinion system as yours, but back then i was told there were no parts for it so i swapped the bottom arm with a 29k4 which i was able to get pinions for back then. Now the 29k4 pinions are not available either. ( back then was +20 yrs ago) One pinion was the same size as the 29k4 and i think the leading pinion was with a smaller blank piece at the top(where the teeth were not cut out).

Hi There, Personally i would wait and get a Singer 29k71,72,73 or 29U series, there were some of the 50 series that had the same parts in the gearbox as the 70 series. These are also better to get, (the ones with 2 pinions and the small rack) I think the one you are looking at is the one that has 3 pinions (with very fine teeth) instead of 2 and they are not available, the only parts you will find nowadays are generally for the 70 series, pinions for the 51 zero. The 51 shares some parts with the 70 series but i would worry about the pinions. The shuttle carrier could also be a part that is not available, you would have to check the part numbers and then look for somewhere they sell them. Always check the part number before buying as some sellers state they are for the 29k series and it is not the case. Hope this helps.

Back in the mid 70´s we were flooded with all of those beautiful reel to reels, receivers, tape decks and amplifiers with lovely brushed aluminium face plates VU meters dancing around to the music and many are still around today and working. I agree many have been repaired but lets say normal repairs like bad caps and transistors after 40+ years of work. But when these companies were competing against each other it was a different attitude all together, they were competing to see who could make the best... not like today... now they are competing to see who is the cheapest...

The machine you are looking for is probably the Singer class 11-35, this was able to sew across and up the arm by changing the parts assigned to this model. 11-8,13,14,16,17,21,23 or later 11-37 is up the arm. I personally think this type is overkill for making boots. Uwe might have one or two laying around his shop?? The one on Ebay says 11-13 and according to this manual it should be up the arm??? http://dixiesewingmachine.tzo.com/MANUALS/SINGERPARTS/11-32 11-34 11-35--.pdf One of the smaller models was the Singer 17-10, finding one or the other might be pretty hard. This would be better i think for boot making. http://dixiesewingmachine.tzo.com/MANUALS/SINGERPARTS/17-1 - 17-18.pdf

I would loosen the front 2 screws of the race ring very slightly to see if this stops the thread from jamming.

So which one marks up less the leather??

You might have been better off with a treadle seeing you have reverse?? Unless you have 3 arms

Welcome Mudguts, That looks like a 1950´s 45k89?? So which one marks up less the leather??

The singer equivalent would be the Singer class 45k and the new copy today would be the Cowboy CB2500. Yakamuto Seiko and a another make from japan made something similar i think. The closest probably is the Cowboy CB2500.

yes they do..... Here is a great upgrade for these machines.... Sorry if i am but since nothing was commented.... i put this up for a laugh....

Saddle soap works well Chris. I am using at the moment 1 part olive oil virgen extra and 4 parts beeswax and it is working fine for me. Just use a cloth or rub in by hand.

Soften up the leather with some saddle soap first, once will probably not be enough.
