Top of the handwheel 23",top of casting 20",you should take the wheel off to prevent the top shaft from getting bent in case it moves around during the trip, I'll agree w/ Uwe you need a sturdy wooden box to protect it.

Thanks for posting this BUT it's a shame it's so far away.If I were to bid on anything I'd have to leave before I knew if I got the bid since it would take me 3-days to get there! In my big truck I can only drive 11 hrs a day & it's a 3-day trip 1,900 mi one way @ 10mpg x$3.00 a gallon =$1,200 in fuel alone!then motels & eats another $700.00.I'm sure someone closer will get some good deals.

Hello Fredo, I'm happy to see you got it up & sewing so quickly.The belt needs to be that tight or it'll slip.The style of motor we use has a built-in brake so when your foot is off of the pedal it will be hard to turn the machine over,so if you push the pedal down 1/4" it releases it so you can turn the machine by hand.Also,when you stop & start sewing you always want to have the takeup lever(chrome piece you thread through & goes up & down when sewing) @ the highest point. Have fun & Thanks for Buying a hard working Cowboy !!

You have too much travel on the take up spring ,loosen the screw that holds the tension on & turn the whole tension approx. 1/4" to the left or so you have 1/2 of the travel you have now.

Yes,those clutchmotors can get away from you.We have a servo that is easy to operate & install here;https://www.tolindsewmach.com/motors.html

You need to loosen the screw on the tension adjustment bracket (which has a slot in it) & move it to the right alittle until it starts to track evenly side to side.

That's a great deal almost 1/2 price!

It's the cyl arm version of a 78 class Singer. Great job,looks real nice !!

It has an opening of 1/4" & will take up to 6 oz of binding material,25mm tape,but the thicker the binding the thinner the binding piece would need to be.

Maybe you should learn what we are talking about before you accuse people of "ripping off" Here's the binder for $450.00 does it look like there's a lot more parts to it?? Of course that's why it costs more !! Let me know Amazons price on this?

Have you seen this manual?http://parts.singerco.com/IPinstManuals/29K70.pdf Back when these machines were made Singer had repair techs that would come out to repair machines.They wanted to keep them working & making $$ for them so they rarely made repair manuals for that reason.

Can you post a pic of the pulley side of your motor?

You don't want to back them off too much or it'll kick out when you adjust the stitch length.

Nice to have !

Somebody might have tightened the 3-spring setting screws,from the pic it looked like they were missing,back them out alittle(maybe 1/2 of the way out) & see if it disengages.

It looks to me as far as I can tell the just welded the collar part to the shaft(that is normally held on w/2 screws),is it welded somewhere else too?If not it should still kick-out like it should.

Take the head out of the table & it'll fit in your wifes RAV4 by laying it down on the backside.

Glenn is right it's 1/2".

There's a locking screw that holds the adjusting screw.The locking screw at the end of the pen, the screw you need to tighten alittle is @ the end of the screwdriver.There's 2-screws on the feed cam that push on a narrow piece of metal in the feed cam we call a gib, just loosen the locking screw & then you can tighten the adj screw until it's snug,if you overtighten it it'll make the stitch length harder to impossible to change.Don't forget to tighten the locking screws when you get done.

I'm guessing all they had was yellow paint?? LOL !!

Sounds like a good machine!Pretty much setup to go as-is.

IDK if it were me I'd get the Consew,it does have a safety clutch ,adjustable foot pressure & a larger bobbin & you'll be able to get a much wider range of feet for it too@ a much lower price than Adler feet.Also some of the older 67's have a cloth cleated timing belt which is no longer available & requies a belt pulley change when it breaks since they aren't made anymore for around $350.00.Yes,the Adler are built better than a Consew but they both will sew the same thickness & material.

Yes,all machines have a range of thickness & thread size they can sew.Machines that use thicker thread normally won't handle thin thread & thin material.Sometimes heavier machines can be adjusted for thinner thread & material but then you'll have to re-adjust it for larger thread & thicker material.So the best answer no one wants the hear is buy 2 machines.One for thicker that uses heavier thread & one for the lighter.Since your starting out you'll have to figure out which one is better suited for you.

Yes,look @ your inside needle feet.The single needle foot only has one hole in the center.The double needle inside foot hole are set @ what guage or needle spread your machine has which can vary.The needle naturally needs to line up with the hole in the foot.
