Hi! Thank you for your reply! I've moved the mentioned part around, sadly there is no change...I think the problem is, that this piece isn't moving up high enough/doesn't create enough pressure upwards, to actually move anything. Do these pictures help? If not, I can disassemble the whole thing next week Thank you again!

Hi! I'm new to this site and to sewing machines in general, so please bear with me, in case, I've made any mistakes concerning etiquette... Ok, so I recently bought a Singer 29-class sewing machine which was sitting in a woodworking shop for the last few years. I cleaned everything up, put it back together exactly the way it was and now it's running quite smoothly...my only problem is, that the walking foot just moves forwards and backwards and won't lift, so it just sews in place. I can't tell the exact model, but according to ismacs.net and the Singer Serial DB-App, it was built in 1895 (no other information about it though). It's probably worth mentioning, that it's European and was located near Vienna though. As far as I can tell, it's similar to a 29-4, at least concerning the mechanisms on the back of the machine. If anybody knows anything, I'd be very glad to hear from you! Thank you all in advance!
