shoepatcher

Go to a #160 needle. I use them with #138 all the time. glenn

will get measurement today for you. Been crazy the last few days. I need to send you some pics. You have an email? glenn

ok You must enlarge the hole in both the feed dog and the throat plate to accommodate #138 thread. I always increase the top tension when using the #138. Also, where the thread goes in both the back and front of the finger tag as it clears the tab on each stitch, I slight shorten the tab as as well as round the corn slightly. This allows the thicker thread to better clear the tab on each stitch. As to the parts list, the one i have for your machine is from 1989. That is the one for your specific machine. I have 335 parts list from 1950- 2017. glenn

The manual you got is from a Pfaff series older than the machine you purchased. It will work though. I think I have a later copy as well. glenn

ok give me a day or so. glenn

Ok. Tell me what you need specially. parts list? Operations manual? mechanics manual? all three if I have them? The 1245 was superior to the Consew 226 just so you know. I have sewn on and owned both. glenn

I think I have the long bar assembly. That is about $90.00 us. hARD TO FIND. GLENN

that is it!! thank you! Any idea how long it has been down? You got a name of the guy? glenn

very nice machine. I have operations manual and parts list from this model I believe. glenn

how did the motor burn up? glenn

ok you need the spring and cup for the top tension unit, the long tension bar, thumb screw and nut, the clamp, washer and wing nut. that I can see. You have the long bar i believe. Also a foot, thread adjustment clamp, thumb screw and gib. glenn

Contact the guys at Schwabe in Ohio. Freeman i think. They sell and refurbish Schwabe clicker. glenn

OK. question. You have the contact info for the German gentlemen that has a web site in Germany that sells Adler parts and has old shoepatcher manuals on his site. I for the love of god cannot find it. Thanks in advance C. glenn

C, you still have the Durkopp 17? glenn

No but will make it easier to work on. What is it not doing? glenn

late 80's machine. Probably a B class with high lift. Nice machine. Uses #92 thread top and bottom. Can use #138 thread but has to have a few modifications on it. glenn

Everything seems to be there. Machine needs a good cleaning. glenn

ScaM??? glenn

First thing you do is clean the machine up so you can work on it. Rusty and dirty. I do not work on any machine until it is clean so I can see what is going on with it. glenn

When timing a shoepatcher, the bobbin and hook to sits on top of the shuttle carrier has to come back to 10:00 meaning it has to go back past the needle. Needle is at 9:00. If it doe not go past that before it starts forward, will never pick up the bobbin thread. The eccentric screw and nut is what you adjust to advance or retard the travel of the hook to the needle. glenn

C, That machine has been fobarred a little. I think I can fix it. Some parts needed. What the hell went in #4??? The lifter to manually lift the foot is correct. glenn

I think Esty has the flatbed attachment for the 3200 cowboy. He is now in Chicago not in Michigan. glenn

Hirose hooks are very good hooks. Aftermarket but excellent quality. Have used them for years. Should fit for you. glenn As to presser feet, I get my generic ones from M.J. Foley in Detroit. have used them for years. glenn

the stitch length clamp is not on properly. Will not feed because of that. glenn

you can run #138 in the Brother which is like a 227 Consew. glenn
