I had the same problem once years ago when I sold a harness plate to a customer that bought a Juki 441 from me yrs ago.I must of spent 5 hrs on it (shimming front cover & etc)& put the standard plate & feed dog back in it & that cured it. My theory is the slotted plate too much drag in rev. Bob Kovar

You'll need to take the side plate off the needle end of your machine & look on the pressure bar you'll see a set screw loosen it & push the part down that the screw is in. Do this with the roller foot on & this will make the foot work. It's the only one (roller fooot)you can get for it.

Well it's just that down the road if you need a needle plate ,feed dog,shuttle or race you can't get a new one.So if you treat it careful & oil it often you should do ok. Bob

They are a good machine until you need parts,many parts are no longer made. Bob

Hey Folks, Ths is what Art said when I posted my own info kast year so why is it ok for him to do it?? Bob Hi Bob, If you want to sell here, do it in Marketplace. Otherwise PM her and keep it off the main board. I let the first one go by, but that is enough. It is ok to help with answers to questions, etc., but any mention of your business should be done in a PM. Art Moderator

The stitching will look better when you use the cutting point in leather it makes look like it's pulled down more & depending on the point will make it straighter looking if you use the S-point,they also have a RTW & Ltw that will give the stitching a twist between the stitches.The round points are better for repair work & nylon webbing. HTH, Bob

I'd like to add my $.02 ,the 7-33 is a good machine it like the 7-31 have a larger bobbin than the 7-34 or 7-9 which have the same size bobbin as adler 205& juki 441,we have found that the smaller bobbin gives more consistant thread tension in leather than the large bobbin does,if your sewing thinner materials or canvas & etc then the large bobbin would be better.We have modified the 7-31 & 33 in the past to sew 1" thick of nylon webbing,if you want to sew thick 1/2"-7/8"a 97-10 like Art mentioned is better than any 7class since the single foot it has is much narrower than the wide & clumbsy feet on a 7. The problem know w/a 97 is getting parts & smaller needles if you want to use thinner thread than 346,since the needle is so long if you where to find any smaller needles they bend & break easy,so you can drop the needlebar down & use a shorter needle like the 794S & will limit your thickness to 1/2" HTH, Bob

That is a Singer 144w 20" arm length w/3/4" foot lift,made for canvas,tents not the best for sewing heavy leather,would make a great chap machine though. It's probably worth $5-800 depending on condition. Bob

153KorW101&103 have walking foot & needles 153KorW102 is needles feed only Bob

The 175-63 is called a tacker,it has no feed dogs to pull the leather ,it's used for draperies,buttons & things were you need a narrow zig-zag type of tack. Better keep looking. Bob

oops I guess I forgot to mention I'm a newbe here it uses schmetz sys 328S will get you the leather point Bob
