    This is the best way to go then you can get any size & point you need since it is such a common needle.

    I found one. Adler 267 oper manual print 7 to 22.pdf

    Search Google for Adler 267.

    I've never seen an Industrial version of the 850,I thought they all were a home machine with a built-in motor.

    The only finger that holds the hook basket in place is the upper one @ the top of the hook.When this type of machine gets thread jammed in the hook it makes it bind up & if the clutch doesn't kickout fast enough it gets forced out of the finger.Alot of times it bends the finger away from the slot & needs to be taken off & either replaced or re-bent so it can hold.

    To change it you need to get a hook saddle on the145 part # 91-010059-45,both gears ,bobbincase opener & take-up for the larger bobbin machine for this swap to work.Moving the bushing is the easiest part.

    That motor won't be strong enough to run it with 0.9 amps,there is a 1.5 amp motor available that we stock if you need one.

    The needle on this machine goes through the feed dog not the needle plate,so you move the feed dog left to right by using the green screws & get the needle centered.

    You need to loosen the screws marked green & the part they hold will slide left or right as needed to line up the needle,side to side of the feed dog & plate really doesn't matter,(you just want to needle to be in the center of the hole).You will also need to loosen the yellow screws so it doesn't bind & slide the whole piece one way or the other .

    Yes,it should work ok.If in doubt I plug into a power strip so it'll blow first.

    There is not a lot of demand fpr them anymore.One like that with missing parts will bring $25.00 or less @ Weavers auction.Parts can be bought but they are very expensive.This stitch is used in making footballs,horse collars & yrs ago for luggage.

    Looks great!! Glad to hear you got it figured out.

    Years ago I worked @ the place named on the sticker.We used to buy them from Consew their model# is 756R same as the Seiko mentioned previously.You can go to consew.com to resources & get a manual.Sieko went crazy on the parts either foot costs around $350.00 ea!The 441 needles & shuttle & bobbins will interchange BUT that's all.

    I've seen the tension posts on old Singer 7 class that are worn down from the roller,so alittle oil on the shaft once in a while wouldn't hurt.But then again the old Singer coulda been 100 yrs old & used 8 hrs a day for most of it's life so all kind of parts show wear.
  16. CowboyBob
    The 441's have 1-metal washer next to the felt on the spring side of the tension pushing against the roller.The CB3200 has a metal washer on either side of the roller.Both methods seem to work ok.

    Yes,they need to be fastened w/a nail or screw,here's what we do,one on each side,3/4" long drywall screw.

    If you ever get a chance to go the leather show in Sheridan be sure to go Kings Rope store in town & check out the awesome display of Ann & Al's work,actual workbenches & stories that they have about them.

    The 112w would be easier since it doesn't have the extra walking feet parts on it.Just get the rockframe out (the part the needlebar rides in & you be able to get the takeup lever out.

    Looks like an easy fix,we have welded up a lot of cracked machines over the years.We pre-heated & used nickle rod.They can also be brazed if your better at that.It looks like not too many parts are missing so you should try to save it.

    Here's a sample off one we have showing the stitch on the bottomside.
  22. CowboyBob
    We recommend going through 2-holes as some threads have a tendency to work their way out of the 1st tension if you only go through 1-hole,the slight extra tension it gives will prevent it from happening.

    14mm

    Maybe this will help?

    We don't have any problems with the pulleys fitting,we order them with the small pulley.
