I have just notice something about my part numbers that may just be a coincidence . The number on the feed motion ring is the same as the last 5 numbers in the serial number, 22075. The number on the head may also be 22075 as the second last number is hard to read. I can't see any other part numbers without further breakdown. Could this mean something? Did Singer stamp each part to match the serial number of each machine?

Thanks for the reply Glenn, I am having trouble matching the part numbers off my machine to any parts breakdown information I can find on line. Most of my numbers start with 22--- where as anything I can find start with 81,82,85, etc. for example my machine head is 22025 and the Feed motion ring slide bar is 22075. These numbers are clearly stamped on the part. I am looking for the slide bar bushing and have come up with 4 different numbers. I have 3 numbers for the machine head. Are there any sites that may have my part numbers or a cross reference that I could use? This is my first patcher and am enjoying working on and with it. I got it out of a guys basement and it needed a lot of cleaning. I have it sewing but I need to get the stitch length corrected. It is a 29K2. Serial #F9522075. Sorry I started out saying it was a 29 K1 but it is a K2. Thanks everyone for their help. Gerald

Thanks for the reply. I have since taken the head apart for inspection. The feed motion bell crank lever is a little worn but not bad. The feed motion slide bar also looked fine. What I did find was the bearing on the back of the ring slide bar was worn. Over the years it must have seized a number of times and was more of a hexagon shape than a round bearing. There is a lot of free play in the part that drives it. I think this may be my problem as that would be the same as a worn bell crank lever. The bearing is riveted on the bar and I don't know if they are available anywhere. May have to look for a complete slide bar. Anyone know they can be found?

I just bought a Singer 29K1 machine and am having trouble with the stitch length. The machine seems to work fine but the least amount of stitches per inch I can get is 10-12. The regulator clamp is all the way down to the foot. If I move it up it gets worse. What parts should I look at for wear or problems?
