The 335 can sew #138 thread. You just have to make a few modifications. Enlarge hole in inner foot and feed dog. Pfaff made a heavier take up spring. I would install that as well. I also went to work on the gap and finger on the bobbin area to have more clearance for the thread to clear on each stitch. glenn

Y The speed reducer screws with the sensing in the synchronizer. You can use a servo motor, synchronizer and speed reducer but not all three. I would get rid of the speed reducer. glenn

Pfaff 345 / Bringing it back from the dead
shoepatcher replied to karmazine's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
I would have the piece in the back welded first to see if it will work. Strima in Poland carries a lot of older parts. Check with them since you already have the part numbers. I you contact Pfaff in Germany and see what they have. There is also a guy on eBay in Lithuania that sells a lot of older Pfaff parts. glenn -

Complete newbie with a Bradbury Repairer
shoepatcher replied to Mstowers's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
Bradbury built from 1872-1923. Built in England. Smallest arm of any shoepatcher. Were great machines. I have manual on the machine. Closest needle system to Bradbury needle was Singer 175 x 5,7. glenn -
HOW heavy a thread are you using. Stick with #138 and below. Will sew #207 on top but #138 is better top and bottom. glenn

Looking for a manual for my Adler 467 FA-373 G2HP
shoepatcher replied to 2bdana's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
767 manual will work as well. was used in auto industries. Looks like you have a Efka computer motor. That has all the functions. You have a 720 top control panel as well. That color machine made in the late 1980's. glenn -
30-10 or 30-70? which? you must first check the needle bar to make sure it is at the correct height. 30-1 different than 30-70! One determined that needle bar is times, you then remove shuttle from the shuttle carrier to time the hook. There is an eccentric on the lower drive rack that you move to time shuttle carrier. I might be able to walk you thru it over the phone. glenn

New Member and mystery machine
shoepatcher replied to piningforfjords's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
That looks like a Juki 562 which was a copy of a 111 w155 with reverse. Goldsworthy was the the Pfaff dealer in Ontario until they went out of business about 10 plus years ago. glenn -

Justification for buying a real Durkopp-Adler.
shoepatcher replied to leerling's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
Weaver 205 clone an option. I have sewn on one. 90% as good as the original. I have a genuine 205 with toys. 969 Pure is a great machine. You buy the best you only cry once! glenn -
The Adler 120-7A, 8A had a 40mm lift on it Could sew heavier than Randall Campbell and 969 DA. That was an absolute beast. glenn

From the color of the machine, it was made in the early 1980's to late 1980's. I had a Pfaff 1245 that color. glenn

The flat screw on the other end of the shaft that has the wing nut for adjusting the walk is off. That has to be loosened. I always replace that screw with an Allen screw 1/2" x 24tpi. Easier to adjust and you can tighten it down more on the shaft. Once loose, set walk with wing nut to lowest walk and slightly tighten straight slot screw to get the walk adjusted. Next go to highest walk with the wing nut. (letter H on the gauge) and adjust it so foot just comes up under needle clamp. You will get the knack of it with a little practice. glenn
