Wow. Thanks very much. That was a lot easier than I thought it would be. Did not even occur to me that they might be found on ebay. I thought they would be a rarity.

Greetings to all, Does anyone know of anywhere I might be able to find stitch length gears sets for a singer 110w? Thanks in advance...

Looking for a Landis 16 stand intact with back rod and clutch. Or alternatively a complete Landis 16 setup where the machine may be missing parts or does not work. Not on here very much but can be reached at 44equine@gmail.com. Thx.

If you decide to piece it out let me know I would be interested in the black and brown leather buffing wheels and the neutral horsehair brush. Thx.

I have one of these Champion machines coming in at the end of the month. It's going to be a parts machine. PM me and I can send you some pricing on the parts that you are looking for.

I have either a Landis 3 or also an American Straight Needle machine. Both needle awl machines. Both in good working condition. If you are interested in a trade just let me know.

Grizzley tools sell some arbor adapters but not sure what size.

Post a picture can probably help you out.

On the K model you won't be able to put casters on them. I've tried to source industrial casters with a long enough stem. Found some but when you try to move it they bend. It's a waste of time, effort and money because of the 3 point legs. Beyond that it is always going to be unstable even if you could find casters. The three legged configuration is deadly for tipping over if the wheels don't spin right. Casters do however work on the Landis L models with square base. The best way to move a K are the following:. 1. Put a pipe under one of the legs and do a leveraged slide. The longer and thicker the pipe the better. Very effective to move on a flat surface. 2. Grizzley tools sells a rolling tool stand wheel set. Great to move the K around the shop. 3. Use a powered winch or hand crank come along to get them up a trailer ramp. My best recommendation to move them by trailer. Harbor freight. Go slow and adjust the legs as needed to slide up the ramp. They slide down the ramp by themselves. 4. Make your own platform with 4 wheels. I believe 32" x 32" should work. But I think mine is 30" x 34". But not really sure. Need two people or some set blocks to raise it to put it on a platform. 5. Dolly. Good luck with that. There are some specialized Dolly's that lean back with four wheels but they are expensive but a joy to use on these machines. Use a Costco dolly and 50-50 chance you will hurt, maim or kill yourself. I'm moving these by myself all the time using a combination of the above. Other advice:. Leave the chainstitch where it is. Nobody really wants to buy them.

Greetings, Some questions about boot top sewing machines. Obviously the go to machine for decades has been the Singer 31-15. No question about it's fame and usefulness. But I recently saw the Cobra 5550 BB and had a chance to test one. Fine machine. Big bobbin. Roller foot. I have a juki 555 knock off machine head already stashed in a corner of my shop I bought somewhere for less than $100. If I decided to convert this machine would I, could I....etc.....I have seen a few roller foot conversion videos. Specifically would I have to change the feed dogs? Also can you convert a regular bobbin size to a M type bobbin size? I can see where the large bobbin would come in handy for this use. Finally, it seems like the 555 models would be a bit light weight to do boot tops if you go through the lining and the outer layer from the comments I have seen. The Cobra model has the servo and speed reducer. I'm guessing this set up with the right needle size gives the machine enough power to get the job done. I have both a servo and reducer in the shop also so I could optimize with a similar set up. I just don't want to go through the trouble if it's not going to work out. So any input is appreciated. Any other machines or set ups that would work good, better, best for boot tops? Hard to improve on a gabazillion years of tradition with the 31-15. But major props to Cobra for doing something different. The Cobra machine I tested was awesome and if I didn't hoard old machines it would be a great investment I think. Thanks for any advice.

Regarding MM or SAE I have no earthy idea. I'll check it next time I'm at the shop. Cobra can probably tell you. I got this on a trade so I have not used it for any production runs. I'm not sure...

Regarding trade I could use the following; Landis 3, Campbell Randell or Champion needle awl machine - must have all the parts and work. Cobra class 4 or Cowboy similar. Leather splitter- Larger than 12" Any kind of working postbed sewing machine. Need it for shoe work. No high speed upholstery machines. An old Singer would be great. Large size harness and tack sewing machine-ie. Singer class 7 or similar. Five in one machine. Sutton S-1000 shoe finisher. Shoe press. I'm open to other stuff too as long as it's of equal value, if I can use it, or if it seems like a good idea to have one at the time lol. My shop is in Costa Mesa.

The equipment is all located in Costa Mesa.

Cobra strap cutter. Works perfectly. $1600. Maybe interested in a trade also.

I'm interested in one of these machines. Are you interested in a trade at all?

Greetings, I recently bought out a couple of shoe repairs. I'm setting up my own shop and I with these purchases I have several duplicates. I'm willing to trade or make someone a deal of the century package. Here's what I have; Landis 12 K curved needle sole stitcher- Fair condition. Mechanisms smooth. Need to test it. It has been in storage and I don't have it here yet. The attached picture is not actual picture just the same model in similar condition. $600 Landis 12 L curved needle sole stitcher- Mechanisms in great condition and smooth. Works.

Just had it in for servicing and it is still at the shop so no picture yet. Head only. Works. $500 If you can use it all $2500 takes it. If you don't want one or more of the items but are interested in the rest make me an offer. If it is a reasonable offer there is a very high probability I will accept. I have limited work space so I need these items gone. If interested in a trade here's what I can use; Landis 3, Campbell Randell or Champion needle awl machine - must have all the parts and work. Cobra class 4 or Cowboy similar. Leather splitter- Larger than 12" Any kind of working postbed sewing machine. Need it for shoe work. No high speed upholstery machines. An old Singer would be great.
