Heavy canvas/sailcloth machine advice
Michiel replied to jfhspike's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
The adler 98 is definitely stronger than an berina 217 the feed dogs are much wider and its an stronger machine, verry useful for sails the adler 266 / 166 is for heavy needles and threads (needles 140-230) but like wiz says : for boat covers and other stuf which does not require zig zag an triple feed machine is better (i use an adler 167 for stuf like that) michiel -
Cowboy CB3200 forward and back Stitch misaligned
Michiel replied to palvim's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
If you turn the machine by hand (slow) you can see if the stitch in reverse is longer or constabulary is right (my guess would be you are missing stitches in reverse...) regards michiel -
Hi nick, i have an 98 too and never found a manual..... beware: on the back side there is a cover, if you open it you will find yourself with some loose parts! i just wanted to take a look but it toke me some efford to get everything back in place the right way (and with the timing right) but if its not working properly maybe some did the same and did not succed to get it right again. Kind regards michiel

Michiel replied to Constabulary's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
ther are no timing marks, but when you put the neelde and hook in the right position for timing the hook you only have to put the belt on its place -
Adler 167 - Timing Belt Replacement
Michiel replied to Constabulary's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
this post was verry helpfull when i had to replace the timingbelt of mij adler 169 when I did it again with an adler 67 I made some photo's of how i got the belt through the gap.... -
The post of an one-needle machine is significant smaller and you can sew closer to the edge (of the post)

If you cannot find an service manual i would try it with an other brand postbed sewing machine the adler 68 looks not verry different to me http://www.duerkopp-adler.com/commons/download/download-text-attachments/Vintage_Manuals_Adler/Manual_Adler_68.pdf if that doesnot work you could use the partsmanual for your machine and for the adler to find out how it is for your machine it might be a puzzle but if you print them all and do some close reading you can do it (for me this method works) http://www.duerkopp-adler.com/commons/download/download-text-attachments/Vintage_Parts_Books_Adler/68.pdf
