I've sold a few of them yrs ago & think it was in the middle to late 1980's that they had them.

I doubt if it's a Consew,the label could of just been stuck on there be someone along the line.Lookup Mitubishi DY-337,the newest & improved model with auto-lube is probably on ebay model #318 or 5318. It has the top feed feet that have teeth on them & the lower feed dog has them too & will mark & scratch leather,these are great sewing canvas.& tarps.

128x20 is a round point ,128x22 leather point is correct needle for your machine.

Most people would use the needle that is recommended,if your machine has been re-timed it's just a matter of adjusting the needlebar to use the correct needles that you have.You just take the needle plate off & turn the machine around until the point of the hook is @ the needle & the eye needs to be approx. 1/8" below the hook point.If it needs to be adjusted,open the faceplate,locate the screw on the needlebar clamp ,loosen it & raise or lower as needed.When reinstalling the needle plate be sure the small metal tab on the bobbincase is in the groove of the needle plate before you tighten the screws.

FWIW ,the one we sell runs slower due to the 2" pulley Everyone else including Consew sells them w/a 3" pulley.

Yes,they phased these out quite a few yrs ago & do not even have any parts for them. You could sew on the road with this one Driver!

The some of the older Consews where black from the factory.Home Depot has a hammertone grey that'll work if you want it grey.

You might try oiling the pressure bar at the bushings.

The most common cause for looping underneath is improper threading(make sure it's pulled all the way between the discs) or too loose of tension.

No,shpg is extra.

Top $75.00 ,lower $68.00.

We have both shafts in stock.

I would spray something like WD40 on it & blow it off with air if you have an air compressor.That arm is for the upper thread to make it cover the stitch on top,it really isn't that hard to install,put it on & you'll see it needs to go in front of the needles,all the way to the left so the thread from it goes behind all the needles. Any clear sewing machine oil will work.

Most 45's will only sew to 3/8",45K53 was their harness stitcher,it has feed dogs that pull the leather back & sewed to 1/2".

Did it pull up the bobbin thread ok?

A 5-spool uses 3-spools on the over edge with the right needle & 2 spools with the left needle ,the looper goes on the right overcast looper,the one that goes over the top & will turn your machine intp a 4-spool w/a a true safety stitch.

Some brands have a looper you can buy that eliminates the one thread to convert it to a 4-spool. There's one on ebay,I tried to cut & paste it but it won't work,it's called a spreader $15.00

Or the hole the needle fits into is wore out & when you tighten it up you should be able to see it move to the left.Or you can also check it with the needle set screw loose see how much the needle moves left to right in the hole.

We have that part in stock or I can give you the measurement when I get back into the shop tomorrow.

Yes,someone must of changed the brass plate over the years,sometimes if you take it off & look at the other side you'll find the correct model#.It is something like a 111w101,103.

The feet & needlebar will be no problem to get,it's the feed dog & needle plate,I've never seen any like that on a Singer before,that's probably what the SV(special version) is about.So you'll have to call Tennessee Attachment & send your old plate & feed dog to them & they'll make what ever guage you want. I really doubt you ever find any like that.

We have these metal hinges to fit on the head that will work with the euro style rubber mounts.

We have these flat hinge plates in stock.

Hey Mike, It can be hit or miss on new patchers it took us a few manufactures to find one that was built right.I've never heard of Axis before but then there is always new names coming into the market.It is best to stay away from older machines because you won't be able to find parts if needed. hEY
