Thanks to some of your videos also......

Well after a long winter and some parts from Gregg I finally got this machine running. The rocker shaft that moves the needle bar back and forth in unison with the feed dogs was broken. Got some new parts, brought that shaft to my local welder and is all good now. Geeze, I had this whole machine taken apart, at least I know it inside and out now. Here it is, these are just some scraps that I stithed, ddon't forget that I've really never sewn before either. The red suede is 4 layers thick, about a 1/2 inch thick.

Sure, please post it if you can

does anyone know if I can use the Juki DNU 1541 engineer's manual to adjust the feed dogs on this machine. I've been looking for a Juki DNU-241HS repair or service manual without any luck, I know trying to find the Chandler manual is impossible. I've even looked for the Nakajima 280l manual and nothing.

I'l be llooking, we got the machine for next to nothing but.... Notice how I say but, the needle is hitting on top of the feed dog (back part of dog) when it is in forward, when you push down on the reverse lever the needle goes through the feed dog as normal. I know that I need a new dog as this one is bent and cracked from the needle impacting it and from what I see there is three different ones for this machine. I'm using the juki dnu-241hs parts list for this so far. I have no clue as to why this is doing it so some help would be greatly appreciated. We just got home with it and I know I have a ton of research to do. The machine definitely needs a good cleaning and I need to devarnish it also. It' aalso missing the bobbin case but it looks like an easy part to get.

One other quick question, what should I be looking for on this Chandler being it's a used machine. I'm fairly familiar with my wife's home machines, she has a nice Janome and several sergers that I'm always servicing plus some others. I really haven't worked on any industrial machines though but I am a mechanic by trade so......

Beautiful, thanks for the info. I like stuff that comes in a whole kit form, makes life so much easier.

Hi all, fresh off the boat new member here with a question. We're picking up up this Chandler c-267 and it is equipped with a clutch motor, my wife says she would like a servo motor on it instead. What would be a good setup for this? What she is basically getting into is some light tack repair and the such. I'm the husband (mechanic) that will be setting things up for her..... So.......
