That is a 9/64"x36 tpi.

I've carefully used vice-grips & don't over tighten or you'll break it,but just alittle twist as you pull straight down usually works for me.Different machines take different screws,what do you have?
-
If the needle is out of the hole it will take the pressure off the screw & I've turned them out many times w/a needle.You never get a drill in there to do any good,if you did you'd ruin the threads since it's so small.

Try to make sure it has a rubber timing belt in it because the cloth ones aren't available anymore,you can convert it to rubber but you'll need new top & bottom pulleys to match it cost over $300.00.

Leave the hook alone. It is real hard to get #207 to pull up on the bottom side so use #138 in the bobbin.

College Sewing in the UK should have them.

Oh,yeah we have a lot of thread & we only have the LR point.
-
The 45K76 is a darner as you know.I have changed them years ago,there is a lot of parts need to change it & some of the holes aren't drilled & tapped as they should be.It's a a lot of work for a machine that might sew just under 1/2" & you have the markings of the feed dog on the bottomside of the leather since it doesn't have a walking foot.

Your Welcome,Tom

Hey Jeff, Like the pic on the left,bevel towards inside.

We have them f/$38.00 + shpg.
-
Is it around $38.00 ?

It's between the red dots.

You can start with a pin 7/16" or 11mm long,it's might be alittle longer than what you need BUT you can always grind it off or bend the release bracket on the backside of the tension.
-
They are for the light & should be 6 volts,you should take the end cover off & see if these wires come off of the windings or are connected to the wiring block where the others connect,if it comes from the windings it's 6 volt for sure.

Wiz,they are talking about the internal timing belt.(Your up too late!!) LOL
-
There is a screw in the shuttle that the bobbincase pivots on when you open it,once in a while it can loosen up & rub against the race & make noise.Also if you pull it out to check it make sure to tighten the 2-race screws all the way & back them off 1/2 turn so the race can float.
-
When you first start sewing do you hold on to the needle thread for the first 3-4 stitches & are you sure the upper tension is threaded correctly,looping underneath is either too loose or upper thread threaded wrong.Make sure the thread is pulled down in-between the discs .
-
Does this machine have a roller feed or feed dogs?
-
Sounds like the rotary hook got some thread jammed in it,oil the hook area & keep trying to turn the handwheel backwards to unjam it.

Shuttle problem with Cowboy 3200
CowboyBob replied to CarlosURSUS's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
Before you start turning any screws are you sure it's threaded correctly & do you hold on to the needle thread for the first 3-4 stitches? You also need to stop & start sewing the the thread take up lever(chrome piece with an eye you thread through) all the way @ the top of it's stroke. -
