Adjusting stitch length Singer 153W103 alternate method
Gecko replied to Lindy's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
This seems to be a common problem. Thanks for that video, Uwe. If I turn the screw, nothing changes. Should that nut and bolt above the O's be loose or tight? It looks like you have movement there, where mine doesn't move. -
I haven't addressed the screw yet, but will soon. And you are correct, the previous owner said that was exactly what happened.
-
Uwe, that would be great. Thanks for checking. Please let me know if you find something. For belts, I think I saw 3/8" belts available. Does that sound right?
-
Evo160k, thank you very much for the play numbers! The hunt is on!

Hi guys. I'm bumping this thread as this machine popped up again for sale and I went and looked and had to bring her home. Ill need a belt and the cast iron ring shown in Jimi's picture above. Does anyone have a line on one or a part number?
-
He also sent this picture of the loose pieces.
-
Yes, Jimi, and hopefully that would be a pretty easy fix to get that out and replace the screw. (It could happen.)
-
Thanks guys. You are an incredible source of knowledge, and awfully kind to share it so freely.
-
Here are a couple of pictures i got from the seller. I'll admit that i don't know what I'm looking for.
-
Thanks for all the pictures Evo169k. He's asking 350 but said he'd entertain reasonable offers. Its about a 3 hour round trip though. Maybe I'll ask for some pictures of the race area.
-
This is the picture from the ad. It sounds like he used it in an orthopedic brace factory.

Good day all. I'm looking at a listing for a Singer 45k53 amd the listing says it needs a bobbin shuttle race. Is that something that's available? Is there anything else i should pay special attention to? Thanks in advance.
-
They were only asking $200, so I'm kind of kicking myself, but I didn't want to have to explain to my wife that I brought another project home.
-
Thanks for all the info. I went and looked at it and ended up passing. The motor was smoking. I probably would replace with a servo anyway, but if I couldn't really try it, I didn't want to take a chance.

Hi all, I found this Singer for sale locally and thanks to the poor photos, I cannot see the model number. Does anyone recognize it? I'm looking to sew heavy-ish canvas and medium weight leather. I'm hoping to download a manual before going to look at it as even threading it could be complicated. Any advice from the experts? Thanks in advance!
