If #1801 has a flat spot on it, the roller is worn. Should be round all the way around. Replace the stud and roller with a new one. The large top rack must be removed and there is a hole on the end that you insert a drive punch in and drive the old shaft out carefully. I always taper the the end of the new shaft on the sander just a little bit. The new shaft and roller must be driven into the old hole. You have to get a tapered pouch that fits into the tapered hole on the end of the roller to tape it in. If you do not and drive shaft and roller into the end of the drive rack, you will compress the peen on the roller and roller will not turn. That is important. glenn

That machine is rare. It is a long arm 133K. You might contact Robert Collier for parts at Collier Equipment in Alabama. glenn

Tips for evaluating a used Nakajima 280L
shoepatcher replied to WILTIM's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
Juki bought Nakajima about 20 + years ago. They made their own machines and also manufactured a lot of parts for Juki under contract. When Juki bought Nakajima, their engineers went thru all of the models of machines they manufactured. Each one was tweaked and upgraded. Some keep the same model number, some got new model numbers. The Juki 441, 341, 245,246 machine were originally made and designed by Nakajima. All three of those are very good machines today. glenn -

There are people looking for the bottom needle guide and the one above the needle. You might consider making those for sale. glenn Coma44 Can we see pics of the 97-6. Is that head only or on the treadle that Singer made for the machine? glenn -

You might try STP. that is what I use on the cam races. It is thicker than oil but thinner than grease. I find it work great as a lubricant in those areas. glenn

Anything from a 29K58 and up is good because you can get the parts be they generic or genuine. glenn

Juki bought out Nakajima some years ago and carried on the 341, 441, and a bunch of other models. Their engineers went thru and tweaked each model to improve it. some kept the same model number, some had brand new model numbers on them. Nakajima still better than the clones of today. glenn

Let us see pics of the machines. glenn

Dürkopp 18 Patcher Restoration - long journey...

pic of the area that has the screws. I have some parts and screws. glenn -
Adler 120 Class. Hard to find them. Last i knew, a company in Germany that makes the 30 class shoepatchers for Adler was still making them.. Price was over $20,000.00US.\glenn glenn

Yep, I agree with Constabulary. That is a Durkopp 17- class. The length of arm will tell us one thing on the subclass, the hook and bobbin the other info on subclass. Can we see more pictures? You realize it has been more than 2 years awaiting for the pics!! I hope the next pics come quicker. Neumann probably contracted with Politype or Durkopp for this machine. Private labeling. glenn

Oiling the sewing hook on pfaff 545
shoepatcher replied to suncat33770's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
take the hook and bobbin case out and derust them with Dremel and wire brush that fits on Dremel. Check the tip of the hook for burrs. Machine will work better derusted. I mark oil areas with red paint stick. Helps when oiling machine. Clean up the buggered up screw heads as well. You got a high lift version of a 545. Great machine!!! glenn -
The -FA means it is set up to trim thread. Other functions may be there as well. the -263 is the designation for 2 needle but not walking foot. Probably bottom and needle feed. -273 would be the 2 needle walking foot model.
-
The 267 gk or -373 are a good medium duty walking foot machine. Foot lift I believe is 12-13mm. It will sew up to 3/8 thickness of leather depending on how hard the leather is. These machines are in demand especially the ones built in Germany. They are going for over $2000.00 rebuilt and set up. Make sure timing belt isin good shape or that will be a $100.00 expense. glenn

Look at the 969 Adler Pure that Weaver sells. 969 stripped down to basic functions. Wholesale complete, $5895.00. Like 205 but its big brother!!! I have sewed on the Eco 969 and it is a beast! glenn

will try to get you a pic today. Busy as hell at the moment give me an email to send pic to. glenn

Ok the Consew 733 in a lot of ways is a copy of the 7 class. What 7 subclass have you got? In a lot of cases, Consew parts may be different. You will have to check the Consew parts list. Seiko machine is like the Consew . glenn

Juki DLN-415-5 take up lever replacement
shoepatcher replied to MichaelPappas's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
Use a small ratchet with a screw tip in the end. will get more leverage -
shuttle carrier for 29K51-56 is unique to that series. Other will not work unless you do some modifications. glenn
