Hello! I was reading what you wrote about the Singer 18-3 and I want to ask you about the feed dogs on this machine. Mine is missing the screw that under the cylinder and I saw that you have made some modification to your machine. On my machine, the feed dogs wheel doesn't rotate when I'm trying to sew something and I don't know what's the problem.
Thank you!

Hi!
If you removed all the parts around Feed Wheel and especially part 6498 Feed Wheel Driver, the Feed Wheel should rotate around smoothly. I assume your part is clean and for spining around you dont need any oil, if it doesn’t you have a serious problem.
If you mean a screw that holds – part 16168 Feed Wheel Driver Spring (this is the only screw on the bottom of cylinder arm) you have no choice but to be patient and maybe you'll find it somewhere (maybe on e-bay) someday, otherwise you have to cut / to make a new thread and a new screw or leave it to someone with skills.

Hello guys! I have a Singer 18-3 but like the @royalgh I'm missing some small parts like the tension take-up spring, the spring on the backside of the cylinder where the circular feed dogs are. I found some tension springs but I don't know if they are compatible with this Singer model. I want to ask you if you know a supplier for this kind of spare parts? I will post some photo to see exactly what parts I'm missing! Thank you!
