It can sew and feed 2 layers but once I get to 3 layers it won’t walk the leather at all

Turning the screw on the knuckle got the walking foot to work properly again. The spring hasn’t let up, is there any way I can get the walking foot to lift more? So far this is the highest I’m able to get it

I remember this screw on the last forum post I made about this issue almost a year ago, once I’m home I’ll take photos and turn the screw, I’m sure that’ll fix it as it did in the past. I’ll make sure to document it all so this thread can be saved for future references.

I believe this might be the issue. This spring isn’t moving as I turn the wheel, i also notice a knock sometimes up behind at the knuckle. I’ve tried raising the feet and pressing the button behind the machine but that didn’t do anything.

Haven’t figured it out yet

It was seeing fine earlier during my project but as of now it isn’t walking properly and cutting into the leather, if I sew on a smaller test piece of leather It sews fine. I am sewing through 4 layers of chrome leather, singer 153k103

Okay cool! I’ll shoot him a message. Hopefully I can figure this out. I’m okay with the stitch setting it has right now but would like to get longer stitches for decorative stitching. Will shoot Bob a message thank you for clearing all of this up for me and narrowing down the issue.

Looks like a broken pin to me, the threads at the end of the top shaft look good. So this pin must be the culprit. Looks like a tedious piece to replace. Would you just recommend replacing the whole knob itself?

It’s a great machine, if I could figure out the stitch length issue it’ll be my golden goose! Would those things get in the way of the stitch length adjustment?

So when I turn the screw all the way and the stitch length knob. I can feel the stitch length knob feel like it’s locked in, not stuck or anything more as if it’s set. The dog feed looks flush with the plate it isn’t rising above the plate.

So I do have the set screw and spring, I’m confused where you speak of the spindle I hope this photo is the the spindle. I can see some threads on the tip but it looks pretty flat. I’ve heard of people grabbing a dremel using that to get the spindle right. I’m just not sure if I’d be sanding it down

So I don’t have that second screw “cc” I assume that one screw is “bb” I wish the photo was clear to see what these screws exactly looked like. From your experience are these screw pretty proprietary?

Photo of said screw

Underneath the set screw I can see the stitch adjustment rod turning whenever I turn the wheel. Could it be that I’m missing the screw that adjusts the stitch length?

Hello all and good day, I am trying to adjust the stitch length on my 153. I’ve visited an older forum about the issue but haven’t been able to find a solution. The knob doesn’t work and tightening or loosening the small screw where you can see the 0s up top aren’t doing much. Right now it’s set at a low stitch count and would like to get longer stitches. Are there any other alternate suggestions? The photo is the screw I messed with, underneath there is no second screw.
