  1. Kevin, Here's a list of everything w/prices & pics that's available,(it's on our website) http://www.tolindsewmach.com/cb-acc-pack.html Bob
  2. I'm glad to hear you got it going. Bob
  3. Lift up the end plate over the needle bar & you'll see the screw that holds it,loosen & drop it down 1/8"
  4. You might try to hold the needle down about 1/8",tighten the screw & see what happens,this will let you know if the needlebar got pushed up.
  5. Try to tighten your foot pressure alittle more. Bob
  6. Chris, Sounds like he must be having a bad day.I'll be glad to help you. Give me a call. Bob
  7. Hello, The material they used was cork & if you want to give me the inside & outside dimensions we might have a new disc in stock. Bob
  8. Thanks for that. Did that go on in place of the feed dog, or was it a separate part? I'm guessing it went on with the slot perpendicular to the needle travel? YES The 97's came with one,they were only a needlefeed machine w/a jump foot & they had different sizes too.It mounted different on the 97 but the same principle,the biggest difference is the feed on the 97 just went front to back & the 441 also goes up & down so there's not alot of room for error when making one for a 441. The machines Ferdco put these on had a jump foot(where the needle only is feeding)& the foot lifts,the 441's have the center foot that goes back(and help pull) with the needle & I really doubt if there would be much benefit in using it. Bob
  9. Lightweight zig-zag or straight stitch,can use up to #92 thread,sews 1/4" or alittle more.Parts are still available for it & we have alot of the common items in stock. Bob
  10. I knew I had a pic of the guide on a 97-10 it just took me a while to find it. Bob
  11. I'M pretty sure this model has auto-oil if so keep looking. Bob
  12. Lo varato sale caro. (The cheap comes out expensive) Isn't that the truth!! I've had people with 4-5 machines all some cheapies they have some $$ into & then when they find out they don't work they want to trade them in for what they paid for them & most of the times I don't want or even have a use for them. So if your going to buy used you have to be careful. HTH, Bob
  13. The Seiko would be easier (over in the US) for getting parts,so I would go with it. Bob
  14. There is a Juki Model#450 a lightweight high speed machine that has a walking foot.If it is this model it might be heavy duty enough for sewing maybe chaps,it doesn't make a very long stitch & will not take any thicker than #69 Nylon thread. Bob
  15. No,it won't work ,it's a machine made for high speed sewing in lightweight material like drapes,shirts,& use small thread.It might sew alittle over 1/4" of leather with # 69 thread. HTH, Bob
  16. Looks like a Singer mod#12 to me,I have on @ home I'll have to post a pic of. Bob
  17. It is shorter because of the drag of the leather in reverse.We noticed this problem years ago & determined it is the way the needle bar rock frame is designed,if you look @ it you'll notice it has a bend @ the top which makes it offset & prohibits even feed in reverse w/o the feed dogs.Lower foot pressure might help along with putting some teflon tape on top of the slotted plate to lessen the friction. It's nice to hear the machine is learning how you want it to sew. Bob
  18. The 95 is a shortarm 7" 96
  19. Art is correct they use these alot for lightweight binding,the largest thread is #69 & they won't sew very heavy,They were made for lightweight work like underwear binder in cloth .They also use them for sew hat bands on. Bob
  20. That's a Singer 95 class made for lightweight sewing for tailors ,drapes & etc,it might sew chaps in a pinch with #69 or#92 thread. It's a good price if you can use it. Bob
  21. Here's one I took of the marks left by our Cowboy 2500 machine(same as GA-5). Bob
  22. Just set it on the floor behind the machine & run it up through the center of the big beam on top. Bob
  23. Years ago we had a customer making nylon tow rope w/a 42-5 & he used #346 top & bottom. But since leather is harder to sew I would stick to what Wiz says & use the #277 max rule. As long as you oil the machine regular it'll take the abuse. Bob
  24. The stitch length is on the front,a knob that has a slot in the casting loosen it push it down for longer,it can use up#92 thread & sew 16 oz thick.
