    I've never done this on the 107 BUT you could drill a hole in it to use the #12361 hinge pins,I'm pretty sure there's enough thickness there to allow for a hole,it would easier than modifying the table(which I've done before & it doesn't look pretty)

    Hello, I haven't seen that plate...YET ! LOL
  3. CowboyBob
    Yes,we have them in stock.

    Rick, Those are built like a 31-15,it's pretty hard to find one that nice looking!

    The 331 doesn't have a scarf.

    Try to tighten the bobbin tension screw 1/4 turn @ a time & keep test sewing each time & it'll get better.

    Here's a parts manual http://parts.singerco.com/IPpartCharts/29K51_53_55_56.pdf

    I really doubt if you'll find any manual that tells you how to do this.It is pretty easy though.Take the screw out of the drive rod & then there's 2-screws under the gearbox that holds it on.Do you know the gears for this machine aren't available?
  9. CowboyBob
    Yes,try tightening the bobbin tension alittle should help.Do you need or want to sew 5 oz? What happens when your sewing thin is it's hard to not see the knot because the leather so thin for the thread size,it would also help to go to a smaller size in the bobbin than on top.

    7x1 or 7x3 are round points,7x2 or 7x4 are leather point & either should work in your machine.
  11. CowboyBob
    Sounds like a great deal !!

    The CB0797 is a great machine BUT it isn't one I like to sell for finished leather products because it has feed dogs on it that can mark the bottomside of your leather.The CB3200 as stated will use a thicker thread & is made for sewing leather since it has a smooth feed dog so you don't have to worry about scratching or marking the leather.

    The flatbed version is a model # 78.
  14. CowboyBob
    Yes,we always use & stock the #240558 because it has a better hook guard on it(thicker steel)
  15. CowboyBob
    The hook parts will be the same as a newer style 111w,some other parts like for the walking feet are no longer available for this model. Here's a list for the hook partshttp://parts.singerco.com/IPpartCharts/111W152.pdf

    Being a Consew dealer myself I want to let you know they only sell parts to their dealers.When they get calls from someone they'll let you know the closest one to you.
  17. CowboyBob
    The Singer 18 is good for thin leather to 1/4" maybe 5/16 & only has a bottom feed that can leave marks.
  18. CowboyBob
    Y Yes,really @ that price you can't lose.
  19. CowboyBob
    Sometimes you get what you pay for,we have ordered cheap parts like feet & in a few months time when we went to use them they were corroded, didn't fit properly or so brittle they broke when you tightened the foot.
  20. CowboyBob
    If you want them sooner we do have all 4 parts in stock for $68.50 + 6.80 priority mail.

    I bought some polyester thread 10 yrs ago that was wrapped in plastic & in a box & it was dated 1987 & we still have a few spools left & it is still strong thread.Nylon thread seems to loose its strength as it gets older.We had some that we've had to throw away that was 12 yrs old,but different manufactures & this could of been in a window .
  22. CowboyBob
    No,you want the belt to have about 1" of play,if it slips it's too loose & will wear it out quickly.
  23. CowboyBob
    For it to work you need to make sure that both feet are lifting them same as they walk,you can loosen the clamp on the back to make adjustments as needed.You also have the sliding lift adjustment where you can loosen the nut & slide it up for more lift.But you do need to check & make sure first that they both lift the same as they walk.
  24. CowboyBob
    You could try to loosen the belt alittle that frees up some power @ low speeds.
  25. CowboyBob
    I have seen this happen too & do not have an answer for it either.I can only guess it was defective from the factory maybe too much bonding makes it stick.I have bought machines & they throw in thread & end up with some like this & have just used this type of thread for the bobbin just to prevent from throwing it away.
