The Techsew is a clone of the Juki. It has the dial on top for raising the the height of the walk. Both good machines. How much difference in price between the two? I believe the Techsew also has a longer stitch length and higher lift than the Juki but it is a clone!!

Your following gear teeth are chewed up. I have them. Make sure the set screw holding the drive gear onto the shuttle carrier shaft is all the way in. If it sticks out any at all, it will stop the gear from turning.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
