    Carrie,there's no dumb questions...only dumb answers. LOL!!!

    I think the word "link" is just used as a sales pitch they are referring to the fact that there is a link on the needlebar & takeup lever used to run these parts,just like the 31-15 has along with a lot of other machines have.

    Hey Steve, I hope it isn't an imposter!!

    Just got it & it's to slow??There is a knob on the front of the motor you can turn to speed it up. Please call anytime you have a question about your machine.
  5. CowboyBob
    Yes,it looks like a 155 because it has the roller bearing on the bottom shaft & probably the top too (next to the timing belt)& this machine also has the cam on the topshaft to adjust the height of the feet as they walk.
  6. CowboyBob
    It doesn't have a walking foot so it relies on the teeth of the feed dogs & upper feet to pull the leather.Most people would do better by buying a machine with a walking foot needlefeed like a Consew 206,226,255,Juki 562,563,Singer 111w152,153,154,155 If it isn't to far away take some leather & see how it looks after you sew on it.

    They are a different thickness & don't interchange.We stock GA-5 parts.

    Wiz,he has a 3200 w/a table mounted bobbin winder. So you can move the tension unit to the side it isn't going.So if it winds more on the right move the tension unit on the bobbin winder to the left.This will help to even it out. You might want to look underneath the tension spring on the shuttle for thread or lint ,clean it out & reinstall the spring & you need to tightin it until you get some tension,then get some scrap & sew a test piece & adjust as needed.

    It's more like a Singer 7 class.It has bottom feed on it & big feet just like the Singer.

    Dave, Gump gave you some good ideas,the bobbin thread needs to go over the top as it pulls so it doesn't slip out of the tension as your sewing.Also double check the needle thread as once in a whaile it canslide behind the 2nd tension & cause the top thread to be too tight.

    I don't want to burst your bubble BUT the gears that run the shuttle are not available for this machine & haven't been for at least 34 yrs that I know of,alot of the other parts will interchange, I just thought I'd mention this before you dump much $$ into this machine. These gears are similar to the ones in the 29K53,55 & 56 which you might want to buy for parts if you see any. They have real fine teeth on them & break pretty easy.We do have most other parts in stock.

    Some post machines have different length bases than your 225.So if you find a postbed ask them to measure first.
  13. CowboyBob
    There are different feet you can get for this like zipper feet where one toe of the outside foot will be off,you can get it with either the left or rightside off.
  14. CowboyBob
    No,they will not fit.
  15. CowboyBob
    You'll have to go with the new style parts,they old have been discontinued. We have welded a lot of castiron & always use nickel rod & pre-heat.
  16. CowboyBob
    You need to loosen the 2-screws on the top shaft bearing on the inside (they are on a collar)you should also polish the sg=haft alittle all the way around where the handwheel so the bearing slides off easier.
  17. CowboyBob
    Erin, The small bobbin 211 & Juki 562 both take a "G" bobbin
  18. CowboyBob
    Hello Joe, Your Welcome! UPS works quickly sometimes(LOL) Did you see the threaded rod on the front where you can lower the motor down to adjust the belt?
  19. CowboyBob
    Does it go up the arm?
  20. CowboyBob
    How long is the arm on it?There is a flat table where you put it to the rightside & have the arm underneath or you can mount it on the left end of the table & put the pedals underneath if you need to use the arm.I might have a pic of the last one we had it had a real nice frame made out of angle iron w/a small table top on the right w/pedals underneath.If I can find the pic I'll post it tomorrow.
  21. CowboyBob
    Yes,same length & either one will work in your 11 class.
  22. CowboyBob
    No,it's for sewing shirts,dresses & draperies.
  23. CowboyBob
    This is a light duty machine made for tailors & draperies.It does not have a walking foot or needle feed.
  24. CowboyBob
    The S points and or any type of leather point isn't made in sizes smaller than #23 on the 794S.
  25. CowboyBob
    This machine is a short version of the 31-15 so set the timing the same as it & it'll sew.
