Singer 29-3 Presser Foot Won't Rotate
shoepatcher replied to AlZilla's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
The Bell crank made today is for the later 29K models. The one you get today will not fit your machine without a lot of grinding. Just so you know. glenn -
Singer 29-3 Presser Foot Won't Rotate
shoepatcher replied to AlZilla's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
Use a sized wrench instead of a crescent wrench. Works better. glenn -
I do not use one but it should bring more. If you can get it for $400.00, grab it. My expertise is in sewing machines. glenn

Worth a lot more that. New they can approach $2,000.00. Italian made they were. glenn

Singer 29-3 Presser Foot Won't Rotate

You want to use a penetrating oil on it. WD40 is not it. The best you can buy Is Kroil Oil. But NOT CHEAP!!! glenn -

consew 206rb-1 cleaning and needle bar repair
shoepatcher replied to photo2u's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
I would call Consew and see what a genuine needle bar #10530 bar cost. Then I would call Henderson Sewing in Alabama. They showed a generic one in that catalogue. Price and availability will determine whee you get it. Also, check your bobbin supply and if you need any, order them as well. glenn -
consew 206rb-1 cleaning and needle bar repair
shoepatcher replied to photo2u's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
Use Greased Lighting and sewing oil to clean up the machine. Call Consew direct and sew what the prices are for the part. The needle bar part is indeed #10530. see if they changed it. glenn -
Pfaff 545 H4 CLMNP HELP
shoepatcher replied to Newbierockabillygal's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
The needle is not in alignment with the feed dog hole . The clamp screw to undo the needle bar in the rock frame is behind the little plate next to the reverse lever if I remember correctly. Loosen that screw and then you have to slowly by hand turn the wheel towards you which will make the needle descend. You then center the needle in the feed dog and tighten the clamp slightly. Turn the wheel again by hand and check the alignment. If good, tighten the clamp. However, you have to make sure the feed dog is correctly positioned before doing any of this. glenn- 8 replies

I have the parts list and the operations manual for the 105-64. Only in hard copy though. glenn

Consew 226 just like Singer 111W 155 but with reverse. Timing the same. glenn
-
Yes the 29x 3, needles basically the same as the 135 x 17, which is the same as DPx17. All round point. The 29x4, 135x16, DP x 16 are all leather points. glenn

Leather sewing machine for the knifemaker
shoepatcher replied to EmilHandmadeKnives's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
Great. Make sure you sew on it before buying it. Some parts for it are hard to find just so you know. Glenn -
Leather sewing machine for the knifemaker
shoepatcher replied to EmilHandmadeKnives's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
if you want to use heavy thread, the 105-64 would probably be the machine you want. Still they cost more than $1000.00. More like $1500.00 You look and wait for something to come up. glenn -
Round point for sure. Not sure what machine you are using. Truck toe lines out of 3"-4" webbing are usually sewn with at least #277 thread. I have seen them sewn with up to #415. Try Shelton Reynolds in Wisconsin. They use to carry huge amounts of webbing in all different weights. Seconds and over runs. glenn

I forgot to add the 669 classic or gold edition as I call it has a different hook because of trim knife. Plus, instead of the narrow slot, there is a 1/4" box hole in the needle basket to allow for the bigger needles. Just be aware of that if you go with the 669 Eco because it has a horizontal hook. The 869 has a vertical hook and will sew a little heavier material. Both are great machines and the Cadillac in their respective classes. glenn

Ok I have a 669 Eco. One thing you have to know about the Eco model. The largest needle you can use on it from the factory is #150. I sew mostly with #138 thread and prefer the #160 needle because of deflection. I sew a multitude of of materials so the #160 needle is paramount to that thread. I solved the problem by removing the bobbin basket and enlarging the slot in it that the needle goes thru with a combination of carbide bit and diamond bit and carbide Mitchell card. That metal was hard let me tell you!! It now will handle up to a #180 needle. Fixed my buddie's 669 the same way. Adler in their infinite wisdom uses the same hook in the 669 Eco as they did in older 367-373. Why they did not make it to accommodate the #180 needle is beyond me because the 669 Gold edition with toys lets you run up to a #180 needle. Go figure! When you order one, specify the 9mm stitch length vs. the 6mm stitch length. Better to have in and not need it than need it and not have it!!! glenn

Q. Landis K ( Hydraulic Ver. Single mini wheel
shoepatcher replied to ChrisMarquez's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
Damn. Never heard of that on a Landis curve needle. The Rapid E317 was considered the Cadillac of the curved needle machines since it had a hydraulic foot lift and clamp. Pics please glenn -
Isn't the Consew 2050 a clone of an Adler 205 where the Cowboy 4500 is a clone of the Juki 441? glenn

Juki bought Nakajima about 20 plus years ago. They renamed it the DU-241H. You can get manuals for it on line or on the Juki web site. Thread will not release unless take up lever is at its highest point. glenn
