    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?
  5. CowboyBob
    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.

    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.

    Here's one I picked up that didn't have a model# tag on it from 1891,it has the long beak too.It looks like a 16 class to me.

    Maybe this will help you.

    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

    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.
  19. CowboyBob
    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.
