After looking and doing more cleaning I don't have a wheel under the place indicated. It appears that i can adjust the stitch length by loosening a set screw on the pulley wheel and moving it backwards or forward. Do any other of the clones adjust this way? I have a call into United (waiting on a return call) maybe they can give me a little information. I have looked at some threads about the safety clutch and appears that mine has either been modified or rigged I think this is causing thread to wind around my bobbin basket. And it seems to be out of time slightly. Thanks, William.

I'll look some more then, Wonder if the fs 550 servo motor Toledo Industrial sells or the Consew would be the better buy.

Been reading several things on the servo motors, Wiz had mentioned 1 in a write up about a built in gear reduction of 3/1 built in. I have found a video or 2 but no pricing information as of yet. That one seems like it may be the way to go even more so if you can control the speed with the drive. The other units like the Consew I'm wondering if you would loose any punching power on start up if it was turned way down to creep along. Rather not have to buy a servo and a separate speed reducer if I don't have to. SARK9 I also am a maintenance man but for a CNC machining facility. It sounds like rock crushers running full tilt all around me most of the time.

Started cleaning it up yesterday, but the sun popped out and I bush hogged some instead. I'm going to get some sewing machine oil and oil it up good maybe tomorrow. Seems the darkness in the woman's basement wasn't the only reason I had thought it was green. Her husband must have been a heavy smoker, and it took a while to clean it up but it is a nice shade of industrial grey. Going to have to change the needle and bobbin thread as I keep jamming on the bobbin side and I read some threads last night and this seems to be pointing in this direction. I have also done some searching on speed reducers and servo motors and I have some questions. 1) Servo motor, I gather its quiet till you hit the pedal, 2) Would it also need a speed reducer? I would rather have say 0-800 spm. I'm just starting the industrial sewing and this thing is fast I'm guessing 4 or 5 times too fast. 3) Clutch motor, noisy all the time. I looked at some videos and I'm not sure of the reduction but it still looks too fast. After i finish cleaning some more and get it oiled up and sewing a good stitch, ill post another picture. Thanks for all the help! William.

Got it and 6-7 extra large to me cones of thread and hundreds of bobbins of black and white thread. Has an adjustable stand and a 1/2 horse power 120v clutch motor,with knee lift for 300$ everything we could stuff under the foot it would sew good looking stitches. I"m going to have to look into adjusting the stitch length, I checked under the table and everything looks to be there, ill have to get a diagram to be sure. Have it covered in the truck to heavy to move it in the dark. Thanks, William

Thank you all. Going to check it out, see if all parts are with it, and if she will move on the price. Thank you, William.

My brother used to sew at a furniture plant that's closed down 5 years or so ago. This machine is supposed to come from there. It comes with a handful of parts and a small box full of cones of thread some still in the plastic.they are at least 3 most likely 5 years old, for practice only. If I gear this down or servo motor this will it do 3/8 or more leather for holsters. Have that as a tinkering project and long term goal. Thank you, William.

I'm glad you circled where it should be, I might have looked for hours. Do you think it's a 226? Or whatever a 226 is copied from? Or just pass... Thanks for the help, William.

see if this works It sews real fast, and I will most likely need a speed reducer or servo motor. My brother may go look at it with me this evening, anything I need to watch out for?

I'll try to resize them tomorrow.

Can't figure out how to post them.

Have a chance to buy a united, motor and stand. Looks to be good shape for 400$ run and stitches good, I think it's a consew 226 can you guys look and give me a little more information.

I had to look up and confirm that this was indeed for spurs. Some really nice work! The metals used really compliment the leather work.
