Hello, I am in need of presser feet(inside part #s5816, 28325. and outside part #s 5890, 28326) for a singer 43-5. Feet from a 42-5, 16-88 and 16-188 will also fit. I also would like to find a better faceplate as well. It is held on with 3 screws on the outer edge( part #13254 or5791), not the 2 screws in the center. The part numbers I gave are only a few of several that fit this machine. Please reply here and thanks!

Landis Machine Sales owner's name is Eli Slaybough. He has Landis 1 machine needles sizes 200(25) and 230(26) for around 3 bucks a piece. His Landis 1 feet are around 50 bucks a piece. What is wrong with your shuttle or do you not have one? Ryan

After looking at the pictures, it is the Harness machine.

I did have several copies, but have sold them. There are 3 machines listed like the one in the pic. Improved International Wax Thread Sewing Machine, Suit Case Machine and Welt Sewing Machine. I need a closer picture of the of the machine above to see if it is a Harness or Suit Case machine. Thats all the information in the book except that the machine has rotary movement which increases speed, more tension and quality of stitch. You can look up the patten number and it will tell you about the machine. I will help you look and see if I can get you a copy of the book.

Bill, I saw you were in Texas, I wanted to know what part of Texas you were in. My brother delivers to Texas once a week in a semi and I have a friend that delivers there also. But I guess you want one from Texas, good luck. My patchers have paid for themselves over and over again from sewing shoes to putting on Boy Scout patches on pockets. Take care.

Keith got a really good deal on a Landis 3 a couple years ago at Weavers. I wanted to get it, but didn't want to bid against Keith. I really don't need two 3s. I just like rebuilding them. lol

You must be talking about the knee lift, because the machine does have the hand lever on it. It is the lever on top of the machine above the presser bar, not behind the machine like the smaller machines. I have the cylinder arm version of this machine, 11-29. It would sew thru 5/8 easily and 3/4 if you turn the machine by hand. My motor was a little to fast for going thru real heavy leather.

Hello, Eli Slaball is the Landis 16 guy. He sells rebuilt 16s and is great to deal with. 217-543-3464. He also has parts and needles.

Where are you located? What do you have for trade? There are quite a few in my area and I have extra 29-4 that is in really good shape and not wore out. You have to be careful when looking at the 29-4 because the racks that osculates the shuttle wear the machine casting where they ride. That's why the 29ks have the replaceable shuttle casting seat. Just an FYI. Thanks, Ryan

I am also looking to get a Cambell/Randall machine. I have a Landis 3 and love it. I completely rebuild it and it is a very tight. I would give Keith Pommer a call 605-372-4523. He usually has a good selection of nice machines.

That's pretty cool. I have never heard of one of those machines.

Needles for this machine are being made again by another company. Landis one needles, size 200(25) 230(26) leather point. You can buy these from Eli Slayball. He ones the Landis Sales company in Illinois 217-543-3464.

Hello All, Been away healing for a very long time. I also have a 97-10 that I sew with and really like the machine. You do not have to go with the 794 needle system. I use landis one needles, size 200(25) leather point. You can buy these from Eli Slayball. He ones the Landis Sales company in Illinois 217-543-3464. The 97-10 has a 3.00" needle and the landis one has a 3.50" needle. I think you all know what to do now, cut the Landis one needle down to 3.00." Remove the material from the top side, not the pointed end. lol Now the Landis one needle is longer from the thread eye to the point. Only by very little, but enough to make the needle dull. Just take a die grinder or dremel and dust the shuttle drive so the needle will clear. Only take a minute or two and is well worth it to do so. Hope this helps.

Hello, I know this is a very old post, but I know what the stitching machine is. It is an International Wax Thread sewing machine made by the International Harness Machinery Co. It was made in Cincinnati, Oh. The machine is pictured in their machinery sales book from the turn of the last century. I hope this helps! Ryan

Hello, Do you still have it? If so, what do you want for it?

Are these numbers correct? Singer 111WSV14 Can't find any info on it. Thanks!

Landis sales and service has them. 217-543-3464

They are an awesome machine. I am looking for one right now. You will get spoiled on this machine compared to the Adler. Enjoy!

When the needle gets dull or a bur. You can usually stone the bur off, if it's not too bad.

CD, The riveters take the #1(104) rivets which have a 5/16 head and a .140" body. I would use brass or chrome brass rivets. They are available from Weaver's, Beiler's and many more places. This is the standard size rivet for leather. You can still use the 1/8" rivets if you like though. Just a little FYI.

Hello, I have been super busy the past couple of days and have not had time to post any pictures of the different anvils. It should calm down by the end of the week. The pictures will answer the question about the Model T riveter. Because the Rex riveter with the tube and the upper drive anvil is not the correct riveter to set the rivets for brake linings. Here is an ebay link to the correct hand operated riveter for brake linings. It allows the rivet to be set below the surface of the brake lining: http://cgi.ebay.com/lg-old-vintage-acme-riveter-farm-leather-rivet-tool_W0QQitemZ120537892643QQcmdZViewItemQQptZFolk_Art?hash=item1c109e4723

Bruce and Kate, Short on time here, but wanted to let you know to take your riveter apart first to see how it connects up top by the handle. There were 2 different kinds made. One anvil is threaded and the other one isn't. I will take some pictures of the different styles of riveters later tonight. Kate, something can be done with your wall mounted riveter so you can use it. I will explain later. Gotta go.
