    It mounts in one of these three holes already drilled & tapped in the bed, usually it will be the front one.
  2. CowboyBob
    Yes,same length.

    You have a belt pulley,feed cam & needlebar crank to take all the screws out of & then you have to get in there & clean the 50 yr old crud off of the shaft so it will slide out the tight tolerances that these parts are in.I usually slide shaft in & out,clean,slide,clean,cuss!

    This one is as close as you can get for one.Your model is a copy of the Singer 111w except your has reverse. 111w Navy Repair manual.pdf

    Great looking work.We have used the 1.5 amp 9000 rpm version of this motor on Singer 29 patchers in the past & they work pretty good.You have to use a stronger foot pedal with it as the motor will fry a standard pedal.

    When we sell one of these we always buff off the feet if they are sewing leather & do the same on the Consew's too.They don't mark then.AFAIK there are no smooth feed dogs for them.

    Be real lucky to sew 3/8"leather on this model,it is more suitable for vinyl & canvas than leather.

    Singer never made service manuals for any of their machines,if you need service they would send their factory trained techs to you.So the closest you can get is thei one for a similar Juki 158. Juki 158 operators manual.pdf

    NO,don't ever take it apart,just oil everything & use it.It will loosen up as you use it.

    When you thread the lower disc you need to go past the little oval window @ the 10:00 position.

    This shaft has a clamp on the other end that you need to loosen only when your setting the needlebar to match the feed dog.Otherwise it should be tight & only move when you turn the handwheel.There's a hole on the backside of the casting to access the big screw on the clamp.

    Yes,it looks like a 562 take up lever the 563 is longer.How does it sew?I doubt it will make much difference.
  13. CowboyBob
    He means he held the button down (make sure the button is in the notch) while turning the handwheel towards you & when it broke lose it made a noise.
  14. CowboyBob
    The leather your sewing has to be thick enough to hide the knot,try 2 or3 layers.
  15. CowboyBob
    Hey TJ,always remember to stop & start with the takeup lever all the way up,in the pic above it is down & that is why you have extra threads from the bobbin because when you stop with it all the way up it releases it from the hook.

    Here's how to adjust needle to shuttle clearance 441 needle to shuttle clearance adjustment.pdf 441 Engineers manual.pdf
  17. CowboyBob
    Many walking foot machines have a bracket the adjust for left & right movement of the whole needlebar assembly.See the attached pic there are 2-screws behind it to loosen & hold it against the bracket & re-tighten if you need to.
  18. CowboyBob
    If you moved the hook to the left you "might" have too little clearance between the tab on the hook base & the cutout underneath the needle plate,you can either open up the cutout on the needle plate or move it slightly to the right.
  19. CowboyBob
    I think the clutch is kicked out,take the bobbin out,try pushing on the stitch length button ,turn the handwheel backwards until it goes into the slot,while holding the button down push the handwheel backwards until you hear a click or until it just won't turn anymore.This "should" get the clutch re-engaged.
  20. CowboyBob
    Put the screw for the eccentric, marked S on the eccentric into the slot (or V on the shaft)once you get it pushed to the left where it belongs & tighten the screw should get it feeding again.
  21. CowboyBob
    @gordonl We stock these from size #19-#27
  22. CowboyBob
    @AlZilla That guy in Toledo has them!
  23. CowboyBob
    $75.00 w/shpg.the shaft can be hard to get out you need to sand it lightly as it gets rust & dirt on it.Then oil it so it slides out easier.
  24. CowboyBob
    Turn it all the way one way,run it ,then turn it all the way the other,it should eventually go more & more each time.
  25. CowboyBob
    @friquant The new stitch length cam I have in stock uses allen screws to the shaft.the others are still slotted.
