Mine in Nov. were much lighter also compared to the ones I got in April.

I have nylon halter patterns if needed for many sizes if horses. Send a message if you reply. Thanks!

Looks great to me! Really nice work on a very beautiful rig!

Hello! Do you have or need a set of round breaking rolls?

What you are saying is false. Why would you say the 97-10 will only sew 5/8 after the 794 needle conversion. Your machines use the same needle system and you claim they will sew 3/4 to 7/8 of an inch? You even claimed your 7-33 clone will sew an inch with the 794 needle system. Doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me why you would say the 97-10 will only sew 5/8 unless you are just throwing that in for a sales pitch. I have a 97-10 and have sewn 7/8 easily with a 794 needle. There are more than one solution for needles for the 97-10 besides stepping down to the 794 system. There are claims that the China clones are good leather harness machines and they are not. They have no pricker feet, no rein round attachments, no attachments to lay the bottom stitch under the surface. Yes they have foot to lay the top stitch under the surface, but that side is not against the horse and if you put that side against the horse the outside would look like crap because the bottom is unacceptable to be facing out. The only leather harness people I know that use these machines are Amish and that goes without saying. Your machines as well as the 97-10 are not good leather harness machines. Randall/Cambell is the best for harness and the Landis 3 is the best for saddles hands down.

Thanks for the reply! I am looking to sew complete leather carriage harness including the blinds, rounds, tugs. Like I said all of it. I sew it all now with a 97-10. I made my own rein round attachment. I also made an adapter and use Randall/Campbell feet. I did that because I have about 25 different styles of Randall feet and I also needed to use the knife foot for my rounds. The Randall/Campbell is the best for this and I want to use the best. Thanks again!

Sale is pending at this time. Thanks!

Steve, I was just being a smart a$$ because there is a Champion for sale, on the site, for 1300 bucks. The Landis seems to sell higher than the Champion and American. More people like the Landis because they feed through the front. The Champion and the American feed through the back. I think it just may be preference. I myself, like the Champion and the American because you can see if anything goes wrong. Sorry for the confusion! Ryan

Price reduced because I forgot someone had painted it john deere green. People and their spay bombs! lol I will take $450.00 for it plus shipping. The only reason I'm selling it is because I own a Champion splitter. No need to keep this cheap thing around sinse I now know the value of my Champion now! lol

$549.00 or best offer. plus shipping. Pictures on request. Thanks! jo386001@gmail.com

Is this the 6 inch model that frequently comes up for sale? Just wondering why this one is worth 1300 bucks? This is truly an honest question. Thanks!

Great find! The cutter is an American sole cutter and skiver. Very useful tool. Toledo Industrial Sewing Machine has parts for these machines. They located in Toledo, Ohio 866-362-7397. Good luck and happy sewing!

Thanks CS. I am still looking.

Well I guess a better question would be; how thick of leather would you like to have. Would you like to have it firm? I looked a few up, but the thickness was not in the description. If I were going to make one for myself I would like it somewhat stout.

Where are you located? Also what is your major and college? Just wondering, I graduated from Ohio University and know what is is like to eat noodles for every meal and beer bread. What kind of leather were you wanting? Like an upholstery type or chap type leather? Do you want handles or straps to carry the bag? Color? Thanks!

I took a look at your website to see the kind of work you do and the 105-64 seems to fit. However; Both machines have their limitations and we are not comparing apples to apples here. The 7-33 will sew twice the thickness that the 105-64 will sew. But the 7-33 has funny vibrating presser foot that feeds the material and is not a positive feed machine. The 105-64 is limited because it does not have a jump foot to let thicker material advance though the machine. I think the 105-64 is more practical being it is a cylinder arm machine. So if I had to pick and choose, the 105-64 would have to stay. The 7-33 get put up for sale between 800-1500 bucks. That's just from what I've seen on ebay. I don't know for sure what they are worth.

7-33 is a very tough, heavy duty stitcher with a vibrating foot. The needle system is 7x3 round point and 794 leather point. Here is the instruction manual: http://parts.singerco.com/IPinstManuals/7-33.pdf Parts manual: http://parts.singerco.com/IPpartCharts/7-31_33_41.pdf By the way I have an old side hack for my old shovel that I have never mounted. I am going to mount it this winter. The first time it has been mounted in 20 years.

Boy those are pretty high priced machines that need a whole lot of cleaning up. Hell you would have to put another 2 grand in these machines along with countless hours of polishing and tracking down parts. Wow! Sorry for the comments and the venting, but d@mn these people here are not industrial sized companies with money too through away here.

So there is no makers mark under the fender huh. Looks neat though!

Hello, If you need any parts machined for your stitchers, speak now or forever hold your piece. This is a one time deal while my machine is apart. I have a wide throat and am going to machine a few parts for it. Let me know on this forum what you need and I will see if I can help you out. Also the parts that I am machining will also be creates in Autodesk Inventor 3D software for record keeping and for referance at a later date if need be. I just want to help people on this forum only, No sewing machine companies or buddies of buddies. Thanks, Ryan

Hello, I think back stitching looks absolutely horrid in leather when the stitch is a visible top stitch. At the end of the stitch, leave enough slack to pull the top thread through to the bottom so both pieces of thread are on the same side. I then tie the thread off with a double wrap square knot. Easy search on Google under surgical knots.

Well I took the Champion apart today. I have to replace 3 rollers that are 7/16 i.d x 3/4 o.d. x 1/2 long. Two are the thread loop cam rollers for the top side and the third one is for the thread opener on the bobbin side. Bob Kovar is checking to see if he the parts for me. If not, I can use hardened sleeve bushings (a.k.a. drill bushing) with a coolant hole in them. I will use the hole for an oil hole. I hope to have it sewing by the end of the week. Depends on how much I eat on Thursday! lol The machine is black and the pictures are not turning out very good at all. I guess I will just take pictures of it sewing when I get it finished. I may take it the rest of the way apart and blast and paint it. This is undecided at this point in time.

They are owned by Amish.

Hello, My girlfriend had to do a project for college and chose to do it on the Amish in our Ohio area. Enjoy the pictures! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0w_P6ogSIx0 Thanks, Ryan
