  1. Is there a difference between nylon and polyester? While nylon has a lower denier thickness than polyester does, it is inherently stronger than polyester on a weight-for-weight basis. ... This also means that nylon takes longer to dry than polyester does. The durability, mold resistance and ease of cleaning is so close between these two fabrics.
  2. Looping underneath is almost one of 2-things,either miss-threaded needle thread or upper tension too loose. Try tightening your upper tension 1/2 a turn @ a time until it clears up.
  3. Hey Mike in the pic Yetibelle posted you can see there's parts missing,like the blower & drill.Years ago we used to buy a pulley that that had a tapered split bushing on it w/4 bolts that tightened on the shat when you tightened them.it fits on the collar on the rightside of the wheel.
  4. We always have used the Lilly white oil.
  5. It's the earlier model that doesn't have the end cover,we call it an open face,yours is a deep throat harness stitcher it has the thread lock on it.There is no way to date them that I have found.It is in great looking condition.
  6. It's my understanding there is no import duties on items made in China.You just have to pay the GST or so I've been told.We have had quite a few people come down & buy & they never called back about having any problems.
  7. Wow,that is some fantastic tooling there,I can't even imagine how many hrs you spent doing that.Looks perfect !!
  8. There isn't any Cowboy dealers in Canada but we are just an hr south of Detroit.
  9. Hey Greg,Great,I knew you could do it.
  10. If you tilt the head back,hit the reverse lever,you'll see a shaft moving that has a set screw w/a locknut on it(towards the front in the middle).They set your stitch length for forward & reverse.Turn it out for a longer stitch.You will probably need to turn both of them since one is reverse length.
  11. YEs, 207 works on the CB341.
  12. There used to be a belting company in town that had these. I remember going there & 2 of them were running at the same time time what a great sound they made.we do have some 5x5. Needles in stock Size #28
  13. $1,395.00+ shpg.
  14. s there any up & down movement when you push the hook up & down?I've seen these hook saddles(the part the hook rides in) get worn & get vertical play in them.Also the back side of the notch in the binder plate looks like it's been ground off & shorter then you standard plate.Do to the way the hook is in this type of machine if you shimmed it you wouldn't be able to tighten the screw that holds the hook in tight enough to hold or it would bind the machine up.
  15. We had some inmates in Texas buy a couple of CB3200 that we put a knob on so they could handcrank them.They didn't have room for a stand.
  16. Looking good there Jason, the more you practice the better it'll get!
  17. He finally got back to me & I can sell them for $450.00.
  18. Nice pic Constabulary.
  19. Look @ the parts list above it is # 82167 the stitch length goes on both sides of it.
  20. Yes,they should open either by hand or foot lift,that way the tension is released & you can pull the material out.
  21. There should be 2-chrome buttons on the bed of the machine,the one on the left is for stitch length,the one on the right is the one for the clutch,It's best to take the motor belt off,push this button down & turn the handwheel backwards until it make a loud snapping noise,then it will be in gear.You need to be sure to thread it correctly ,hold on to the needle thread the first 3-4 stitches ,don't sew off the material & this won't happen again. I'm pretty sure there's some vids on youtube showing how to do this too.Singer 111w,Juki 562,563 is the same as your Consew if you can't find one on Consew.They also show you threading & oiling.
  22. Hey Jason,that looks pretty darn good !!
  23. The video explains it better than the manual.
  24. Give me a call tomorrow,I'll be in the shop from 7-1 eastern time.
  25. Hey Jason,It was great to meet you today,I'm glad to see you made it home & are ready to start stitching up some leather.Be sure to show us what you made. Thanks for choosing Cowboy
