@cadet4x4Yrs ago we used to put the reverse & highlift on these.We have the needles,bobbins & thread in stock.You'll need to let us know the current needle length.The bobbins should measure 3/4"x3/4".

@TomEGrease will never work into the inside shaft of the roller so only use oil,see attached file for a manual that should work for this motor.Servo motor directions.pdf

Most people we sell thread to use nylon for patches.

Go to page #26,loosen the screws #42 & turn cam #41 (walking foot cam)to adjust.You access it from the backside of the machine.

See the thin piece of metal on the bottom leftside of the pic(underneath the point of the hook? Bend it towards the needle,this is call hook guard & is bendable(adjustable) the stop the needle from hitting the point of the hook,once in a while if it's hitting too hard you might need to loosen the 2 screws underneath the hold the whole assembly in place & move to the right & then you'll have to move the big over to match it.Try bending the guard first since it's easier.

Take the old one off,get a foot pedal & fasten to lower parts of legs and you'll need a longer chain to connect from the head to the pedal.

In the parts manual go to page#3,item#50 is the cam you need to turn to change when the inside foot comes down,loosen both screws #50 Consew255RB-3 parts & opermanual.pdf

Many years ago I thought I knew it all & was working on a neighbors treadle machine & the more oil I gave it the tighter it got until it wouldn't turn,I took the head out of the cabinet took it to work the next day & told the seasoned mechanic what happened & he broke out in laughter.After what seemed like 5 minutes he told me they've been using 3 in 1 & the new oil caused it to jam from the wax.There were some parts on the machine(underneath) that even had some waxing icicles almost 1/4" hanging off of it.So he told me to take some kerosene & re-oil the main bearings & it should free up,that did the trick & sure made my neighbor happy when I took it back.

Try oiling the pin in the tab.To open the bobbincase put your thumbnail underneath the front triangle piece of the bobbincase & it will pop the tab up.These machines used a 128x42 from the factory BUT they have been discontinued so you can use the 128x4 we have in stock in sizes #14,16,18,20,22.You should be able to use up to #138 thread in it.

You can use sizes #46,69,92 & #138 #46 is the smallest.

It will use #69 & #92 thread & was made for leather coats & other light leather sewing.Should use the leather point 135x16 needle

Yes,31-19,31-47,331K5 & 331K105,Singer 16-41-88 & 188 & short arm 44-9

Yes

TonyGreen3455 You should have a spool pin in the center on top of the machine,run the thread through 2 of the holes & it will give enough pre-tension to hold it.

Usually you'll find this machine in many brands using model # 810

You did good,sounds like a scam to me!

Yes,those old Domestic Rotary 153 are a smooth running machine,I'm surprised your able to sew that thick w/o overloading the friction drive?

@FlyingMonkYou'll run into problems using a 112W sewing belts as the feet will be too wide to get close to a buckle for the difference a single needle 111W will work better & there are alot of different feet available for it too.

Yes those needles are still available for $200.00 a box of (100),there is a needlebar & needle clamp available that would allow you to use the smaller shank 214x1 which the smallest size is a #19.We have the clamp & needlebar in stock for $36.00 + shpg.

Yes,we better update the website,that type isn't available anymore.

Yes,this guide will work.The guide we sell is identical to the one in question & no guides I know of provide front to back adjustment (just the drop down has this feature) just left to right.The CB3200 uses a different casting than the 441's & does not have a flat machines spot to fasten a drop down edge guide.

Size #69 nylon with a #16 needle should work.

Both tensions are too tight,alot of people like to see a stitch like this in leather(were it pulls in tightly) so it doesn't lay on the outside of the material to get rubbed against & cause the thread to wear through.

@Scottwb96 Look on page #14,it is the larger screw in the pic above but you have to loosen the locking screw first. 144w103.pdf

Many moons ago the first one I ever worked on just wouldn't sew using 138 nylon.I mentioned it to someone & he said trying some cotton thread with some lube,it sewed great.The nylon doesn't hold the loop like the cotton does.
