  1. a number 24.
  2. Damn nice seat. I really need to do a few seats for my heard. I want to try my 65 Cushman first, then my 69 flh.
  3. What is a pay it forward? Thanks!
  4. Well I really tore into my 97-10 today. It had a few different problems. The needle bar rocker frame rubbing the front plate(fixed), a couple of tapered bolts were too tight also causing the machine to turn over hard (fixed), I loosened and re tightened every nut, screw and bolt on the machine head. I also drilled out the upper needle guide and pressed in a needle guide bushing from a Landis 1 machine. I inspected, cleaned and oiled every moving part along the way. Now for the fun part, I need to adjust and time the stitch length cam. This may be a little tricky. I will start fresh with that in the morning. Hopefully it will be sewing soon. Once that is achieved, it's time to make some new presser feet and needle plates.
  5. Thanks Art for taking the time to clear this up.
  6. Beilers Manufacturing and supply. 717-768-0174 part# 12633 5/16 SS Durable Snaps. $20.00 per 100.
  7. I would love to see the photos!
  8. How do you adjust the top presser bar clamp so it grabs and lets go correctly?
  9. I am going to machine a stirrup plate and foot for mine. I can also make you set if you like?
  10. We will be boyz, now and always! lol
  11. It seems to me that you are knocking out the safety clutch. Rein gauge the safety clutch. The springs may be weak in the safety clutch causing it to be knocked out of time each time you break a needle.
  12. Service means a lot!
  13. Adler 205 is also cast in China and a couple of the processes in Czech Republic. Which doesn't make them bad I guess.They are not made in Germany as Weaver advertises by mouth. They are also super very expensive compared to the other knock offs. It's like anything else out there, buyer beware. That is why I stuck with an old proven American heavy iron machine. This post is like the old Ford vs Chevy scenario. My whole point is only this; Dealers tell the truth and quit bull----ing us.
  14. I sure didn't get the 3 pressers with it. The presser foot on the machine now is adjustable for and aft to compensate for the changing of the stitch length. One thing I did find is that when changed the stitch length to 4 spi the machine was really hard to turn over like it was binding somewhere. I took off the needle bar inspection plate to check for binding and the machine turned over super easy. The needle bar rocker frame is rubbing the inspection cover not allowing the feed to follow all the way through its sequence. That's as far as I have gotten so far. Thanks for your interest and feedback!
  15. Talk to Bob at Toledo Industrial Sewing Machine. 866-362-7397 I would be afraid of getting in the middle of this squabble and would bypass them. Just my opinion.
  16. Here you go. Page 99. http://books.google.com/books?id=KpkBAAAAY...g+horse&lr=
  17. Hello! Those are two great machines! You can go to www.singerco.com and download the manuals for these machines. Let me know if you ever want to get rid of them. http://parts.singerco.com/IPinstManuals/14...WSV37_WSV38.pdf http://parts.singerco.com/IPinstManuals/15...103_154K101.pdf
  18. Toledo Industrial Sewing Machine sells the Cowboy line. Bob is a great guy to deal with. 866-362-7397
  19. Thanks for the great picture! I would also like to see it a little larger. He must have repaired a lot off shoes to have 2 sole presses. Thanks again!
  20. One of the problems that I have with all dealers is this; All off these large cylinder arm clone machines are made and assembled in Asia. Either in China or Taiwan. There are 3 machine factories over there that make every one of them. I absolutely hate it when dealers tell me different. For this I might add, one process can can be done to the machines, like a quality check for instance, then that countries stamp can be put on that product. It is called a global pass through. Just be honest is all we're are asking.
  21. Boy that is super high for a Tippman Boss. You can find them new for around $1200.00. Toledo Industrial Sewing machine, Ohio, sells the Cowboy sewing machine line and is by far cheaper on price than any other machine dealer. He also has a lot of used machines, I mean a lot. He also sells needles and thread. He has a toll free number 866-362-7397. I am just a happy customer.

  23. One of the first things I am going to do is time the presser foot with the needle guide, which controls the stitch length. The only timing it seems to have is the stitch length cam. I hope the cam is not wore down too far. It doesn't really seem to be though. I need to locate an old Army repair manual for this machine. This one was dug out of an old Army depot. It was used to sew Army parachutes during WWII.
  24. Wow is he good!
  25. I am having trouble with it. Adjusting the stitch length does not seem to have an affect. There are pipe wrench marks on the horizontal shaft which is a big indicator of trouble. I'm going to have fun figuring this one out. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
