    We stock market feet & other parts for the Adler 67's for alot less $$ than Adler sells them for.And if you have an Adler you should try to buy another Adler if you need a 2nd machine so the feet & etc interchange.

    @Wellington This code means it does not have drop-feed,it would be a machine more suitable for binding.
  4. CowboyBob
    Yes,push it in.

    Put some oil on the bar just ahead of the lower circled part,you could try tapping on the rightside of the L-piece just above the small bar.One more thing to look at is on the first pic,you have a lifter bar that picks the foot up,take it off & the then take the big headed screw out & look at the bottom,there's a release pin there that could of slipped backwards holding it up.
  6. CowboyBob
    Put some oil in the bushings there's an upper & lower one where the bar runs through.Then push or tap on the foot & it should go down.Don't loosen the circled screw.

    I'll agree with the rest of them,this seller is clueless about machines or he wouldn't be running it w/o the needle plate on it! They could had at least cleaned it up & put a needle plate & outside on it b4 the vid!Probably pretty well worn coming from Lazyboy.
  8. CowboyBob
    It looks like a 7-38,the wear your looking at is normal,the takeup doesn't move @ that point so the thread can be picked up by the hook.Oil everything on it that moves & there are places when you spin it it might get alittle harder to turn like when the feet lift do to the action against the pressure foot spring.

    The problem with the Seiko CH8B is there isn't much available feet,needle plates & etc for it like the more common 441 style machine.

    When looking @ it turn it clockwise.

    @kgg Did you look @ the other machines he has for sale? He really gives them all a sales pitch,I'll bet he's on ebay to trying to pawn these off too as Heavy Duty! He has a 31-15 listed for $400.00 w/table which would be a way better choice than the little portable machine with the pulleys.

    It should sew to 3/8".Like most Industrial machines you can unbolt the head off of the stand & haul it in 2 pieces.The head weighs around 70lbs.
  13. CowboyBob
    It's the same machine as a 31-15 just 3" shorter & has a roller foot.Use regular grease (wheel bearing type) will work on the motor bearings.

    Oops!Thanks for catching it.

    @AlZilla I just saw 3 of these spindles on ebay
  16. CowboyBob
    But you will run into problems where it isn't going to feed properly since the feed dog doesn't go up when it goes back & drops down when it goes foward.You need something like a Consew 227R or Juki 341 type of machine with what's called a 4 motion feed.

    Sorry,they have been discontinued yrs ago,usually the threads are broken on the shaft making the spindle unusable.If you release the tension(or take out screw BB & back screw CC out) on the stitch mechanism it(spindle) will slide all the way in & use screw CC to adjust the length & then reinsert CC to lock it from backing out.
  18. CowboyBob
    Is it looping underneath when it does this?If so you might need to tighten your upper tension.
  19. CowboyBob
    @AlZilla It's made that way so it has tension on the outside & doesn't turn as your sewing,it got bent because someone tried jamming it in there w/o backing out the screws to release the tension.
  20. CowboyBob
    If you can get that spindle back in there,if you can't just get a piece of metal the size of the spindle,taper the end ,push it in all the way & you can take out screw BB & use screw CC to adjust the stitch length.The spindle will go in alot easier if you backed the CC screw.
  21. CowboyBob
    138 is about the largest you can use.
  22. CowboyBob
    This is for a walking foot machine BUT everything is the same except you don't have the walking feet parts to adjust. 111w101.pdf

    @PasoLargo Here's a pic,it very simple the inner spring hooks into the outer one.
  24. CowboyBob
    This is a needle feed & unless someone changed it it should take a 135x5 for cloth ,vinyl & webbing & a 135x8 for leather it's about 1/4" shorter than the 135x17.
  25. CowboyBob
    Here's a Singer manual.You need to go around the tension on the side 1 & 1/2 times so the thread can grip the tension pulley. 45Kmanual.pdf
