    Switch the parts, the hardest part is getting the bottom shaft out & changing the take up lever.
  2. CowboyBob
    Great,I knew you could get it fixed.
  3. CowboyBob
    All the parts aren't available anymore & if you could get all the parts there's some machining you'll have to figure out as you'd never be able to get any blueprints for it.

    There are 2 styles of servos one has a computer chip in it,it doesn't have a brake,it uses electronics to stop,we did use that style until I got tired of the boards burning out & they are much harder to adjust the speed on(you have to do a 3-step process) so we found these motors w/a built-in brake are much more reliable & you just turn a knob for the speed control.The way the machines are set up you can get the needle up or down by a light tap on the pedal.

    Usually the screw is in there & that's what makes it tight,but since it's missing then Yes you just need to force it backwards harder,remember it was a pretty strong force forward that made this happen.Do be afraid you won't hurt anything by going backwards since it jammed forward & your stuck on the long stitch length.Take the belt off hold the button & it'll hold itself & get both hands on it.
  6. CowboyBob
    Yes,it should sew up to around a total of 20oz or 5/15" thick

    You just have to get the cover on it & get the plunger in the groove & force the handwheel backwards (to shorten the stitch) as hard a you can & it will work again. !
  8. CowboyBob
    It is jammed against the stop screw take the cover off over the stitch length & loosen the large screw & it should unjam it for you.

    The Lockstich needles might work in this machine BUT,it isn't a lockstitch machine,it makes a chainstitch. HTH

    Hey Colt, Congrats on the Honeymoon!! Anytime you have a question feel free to give us a call.Our motor has a brake in it that is on when your foot is off the pedal,so yes you'll have to push the pedal down alittle to release it,then the machine will turn by hand.Once you get used to it though you can press real lightly & stop the needle wherever you want it to be.The belts need to be as tight as they need to be or they'll slip when you start sewing thick. Let me know if you have anymore questions. Thanks, Bob

    Check to see how much lost movement you have in the vertical lifting rod on the back,you might just need to raise the pad on the knee lifter where it pushes on the rod.It is underneath real close to the motor.

    We have them in Organ brand.

    You might want to double check your measurement it might be close to 5/8 which is 0.6250 & 15 mm is 0.5906 which is the diameter on most new servos.If there's a nut to hold the pulley on then it should be the 15mm.

    Sure you can use the leather needle & it will sew it ok BUT it can damage(cut) the threads in the material @ the hole that the needle makes.That's why we always recommend a round point needle for canvas & vinyl.
  15. CowboyBob
    Try the bobbin case from your Singer 241 in it,it should work.We stock them.
  16. CowboyBob
    Yes,it's a walking foot machine but you will have trouble finding any parts for it.The manuafacture of this machine closed years ago & Consew doesn't have any part either.
  17. CowboyBob
    Try a larger motor pulley.

    A lot of hardwork there,sure looks GREAT !!

    Welcome to the group,I've been through the thriving metropolis of Pierpont many times yrs ago on the way to service a Canvas shop in Conneautville,along w/some Amish leather shops in your area.Do you know of Millers Leather?He's Amish up by Bushnell he might have some scraps of leather to sell if you need any

    Sometimes people think the feed dog underneath is a walking foot.A walking foot machine has 2-upper feet a narrow inside the needle goes through & a wider outside one..
  21. CowboyBob
    The 463 Pfaff is not a walking foot machine,it is a tailor,dressmaking type of machine for lightweight materials.
  22. CowboyBob
    Yes,it's best to leave them on ,the larger one is almost impossible to get off w/o ruining it.I've used a wood chisel to get under them but as treasure said it is a lot easier to mask them & cut around w/a razor blade or exacto knife,then you won't be shopping for replacements,LOL!
  23. CowboyBob
    We always put the 135x17 needle in a 331k5,if it is set up for the 16x63 that is a longer needle & the 135x17 will work better since it has a scarf in it that the 16x63 doesn't.You will just need to lower the needlebar alittle to compensate.
  24. CowboyBob
    Looks perfect,so what did you do?
  25. CowboyBob
    Yes,he's on this site,maybe he'll chime in?
