  1. Hello Shoepatcher, 

    I think my Claes 8436-30 is missing a part in/around the bobbin winder - there is a bolt on the machine side with flattened sides, but there doesn;t seem to be any parts that mate with the flat edges. Could you post some pics of bobbin winder parts? I might have just put mine back together wrong. The parts schematics I have don't really help, as I can't visualize the parts the diagrams outlines.

    Thanks for any info,

    Stephen

  2. I have gears and pinions. Contact me. Some are original Simanco parts.
  3. I would say the inside and outside foot are out of sync since one is raising a lot more than the other. It also needs oil. There are directions on like to adjust the feet lift to be uniform. glenn
  4. C, That Seiko made to sew heavier with the big flywheel. Ferdinand did that on a few machines to give them a lot of torque and punching power. I saw one set up to sew t webs on a hockey goalie glove. Was sewing thru 4 and 5 layers of leather. Did a great job. Cleaned up and sewing $1,200.00 easy. glenn
  5. Anyone got a large wooden drawer for a Long arm Singer shoepatcher treadle stand? I am trying to spec the drawer. I only have the small drawers. The long arm treadle stands had bigger drawers in them. I need a finished length width and height. Thanks in advance. glenn
  6. Dannymac, You are correct the Rapid E is a 317. The 309 was and earlier machine. Thanks. glenn
  7. Basically the 112W139 was a double needle version of the 111W155. I think the 111W might be just a bit heavier in what it can sew. Mr. Kovar would know better than me on that one. glenn
  8. #207 a little thick. Only run it on the needle thread. or go to #138 on both top and bottom. glenn
  9. Rapid E? The Cadillac of curved sole stitchers. Parts , needles and awls you can get from Gateway Shoe in St. Louis. glenn
  10. order either a Hirose or Cerliani hook. They are the best generic hooks made. If you want a genuine, be prepared to pay dearly for a Genuine Pfaff hook. Like $300- $400.00 glenn
  11. C, Canadian Post is on strike and has been for at least a few weeks. Probably why they are not shipping to Canada at this moment. glenn
  12. The pitch of the bolt is 9/32"x 28. I am out of bolts at this time. glenn
  13. Samer, send me a few pics of the front of your machine where the wheel goes please. These parts are not cheap just so you know. glenn
  14. Like I said, way overrated for a sewing machine the Sailrite is. glenn
