Are you thinking of Sam Brown studs like these

There should be a good market for largen broken machine handwheels but you seldom see them advertised
Just did a quick check on Ebay.com and far more brushless servos; than the brushed ones but prices seemed to be about the same apart from some very low Enduro motors at $30
-
I think you will find most modern servo motors are brushless

This may give you some idea Repairing Scratches & Scuffs in Leather - YouTube

Realistically all you can probably do is to sand it down and apply upholstery paint to the whole chair, and you will most likely always be able to see some of the deep scratches, trouble is once the cat uses it as a scratching pad it always will unless you shoot it

when i got mine i found the bobbin tension was very poor, ended up taking it apart and found it had made a deep grove under the spring that even a new spring did not help. brought a new bobbin case from cutextilemc on eBay an company in New York at $49 solved the problem and fast service

The stitching holes look massive compared to the thread
-
I would imagine a heated Roller press a bit like those Irons used for ironing sheets at hotels and laundries
-
If you blow it up you can see a very heavy white thread in the gaps

I suggest you google "Car Leather Restoration" you should find many products for restoring the colour and finish also "YouTube" is your friend (1) car leather restoration - YouTube

Whether one clone or another is better has a lot to do with the dealer and their mechanic(s) and how well they are gone through, adjusted, setup and tested.
I think its more to do with the quality control and specifications used in making the machines by the likes of Cowboy, Sailrite etc that determines the quality of the machines. the dealership may fine tune the machine to the customers demands but quality control is the main key to a good machine, it's no coincidence that many are still using Singer machines over 100 years old with many used in factory after factory before they reach the smaller companies and individuals

Many thanks Bob looks like a simple solution, your help on the forum is first class and if i lived in the US no doubt i would come to you as first choice

Just got around to fitting my speed reducer and have a problem that there is not enough room on the left of the cut-out to fit the reducer but space available or the right hand side
The speed reducer has the large wheel on the right side and small wheel on the left, and i need them switched around but not sure how to do it
Please can anyone explain as i don't want to pull it apart and fail to put it back properly, there seems to be a cap of sorts on the far end holding it all together but no apparent way to remove it, and at the other end the opposite side to the support bracket there is what appears to be a grease cap and under that a bolt
This is the same type of reducer
If anyone in the UK is interested they are sold in Germany at 45 euro with 25 euro postage to UK plus import vat from info@sieck.de

You need to hold the thread ends tightly for the first 2 or 3 stitches and then it will be ok

Hi
Sounds like your going to busy this year just on the house
The simple answer to most of your questions is to search YouTube for they have a great selection of videos on what you require
As your in the states then Tandy leather, Springfield leather and a few others are a good place to start for buying online
regarding needles you need leather point needles to sew leather, though if sewing to canvas you might get away with ball point as long as the leather is reasonably soft
Here is a guide for needle v thread size
Needle and Thread Size Chart - Toledo Industrial Sewing Machines (tolindsewmach.com)

Bonded Nylon size 69 is the largest you can use on the 66 and needle size 16 to 18 leather point
If its soft veg tan at 2-3 oz then you might just manage nothing thicker the 66 is a domestic machine for home sewing fabric

I like it but more experienced users seem happy to stay as they were, nice to have it needle up or down and do single stitch at a whim in my thoughts so worth a little bit extra
