send us some pics to see what you need

The Lu563 is the best machine for what you are doing. glenn

For moccasins, you need a medium duty cylinder arm with lift and power. Do you need the narrow arm? If not, the better machine to look for would be a Juki 341. More power, higher lift and bigger bobbin. The 337 -G I believe has the lever by the reverse lever that can make the upper and lower feed e different than each other. That is not what you want. glenn

331K5 I believe is for sewing apparel if I am not mistaken. You may need a heavier machine for light leather. glenn

Yes clean and derust it before you begin to take apart. glenn

Pfaff 337-G I think was used in the jeans industry. Any pics? Pfaff parts can be expensive but the machines are great. glenn

please post pics. thanks glenn

Two people with Pfaff345 saddle problems in the same day. That is rare. Hirose and Cerliani both make aftermarket hooks. Both are very good quality. One made in Japan, one made in Italy. They both should carry this hook. Just finding a dealer that can order you one may be the hard part I have never take a saddle out of a 345, 335 yes, 345 no. Looks fun. glenn

Looking at it, I would super clean the area around the hook saddle. Looks gummed up and rusty. Looks like there are two shims one on each side at the bottom of the saddle. Are they accessible from the bottom?? glenn

Contact MJ Foley in Detroit. They are the Master Distributor for JUki in North America. They should be able to help you program the SC--922. glenn

It looks more like a copy of a Juki 341 vs. PfaFF345. The Highlead company is out of England and their machines come from China. My experience is it is not the easiest company to get parts from. That said, looks like a good machine.

Politype shoepatchers were made in Germany. I have one myself.

Anyone got a manual to a BUSM Pilot shoe machine. Know someone looking for a manual to that machine. glenn

ok 335 H3 regular lift which is 11mm. B class so for light materials, L meaning for sewing leather, N which is stitch length. On older models, it was 4mm max. The 900 numbers on the plate means it had some toys on it which are gone - backtack, foot lift, trimmers. now a plan jane machine. looks in pretty good shape. Take samples if you are going to look at it and sew on it. Max. Thread is #138. This one has the small bobbin.. glenn

yep That machine will do it as will a Puritan chain stitch. glenn

call Bob at Toledo or Greg at Keystone. They can get a take up lever for you. glenn

We need pics to distinguish the models. Without a pic of second machine, I cannot really recommend a machine. glenn

That post with the ball at the end was for a singer light. I remove that entire post off them on the Singer machines. The newer gooseneck LED lights so much better.

pic available of second machine?

For sale: Cowboy 227R. Machine was only used for 3 hours in a seminar. It is on a pedestal off the arm metal stand. Comes with pedestal stand, bobbin winder, servo motor, drawer, Led 28" gooseneck light, needles, oil bottle and oil, manuals. Machine located in Oxford, MI which is 45 minutes north of Detroit. Price $1595.00 plus shipping. Message me for pics.

, and yeah. Any chance of getting more pics of the needle bar area? The take up lever guide is all bent to hell. That needs to be removed and straighten. Send more pics of the head from different anglws if you can. The bobbin winder is missing the drive wheel, slide plates missing just so you know. Pic of the aluminum model in back of the machine. glenn

Same machine built in same factory. Bob is good. So is Steve. Surprised Cobra never got back with you. Their loss.! glenn

ok

It means removing metal on the underside of the throat plate in the narrow groove that hold the bobbin case finger and some work on the hook. glenn

That is an Adler 67-373./ Chandler was a distributor for Adler in America for a number for years. Good machine. glenn
