Atilla1 Report post Posted September 21, 2022 Hi, Its Atilla from Finland and I joined the forum yesterday. I ve been doing leatherwork for sometime as a hobby, mostly by hand-stitch. A couolenof weeks ago I decided to switch to machine sewing and bought a pfaff 545-H3. I realized after I brought it home that the presser bar had too much play on the top, looked like some parts were missing. After some inspection, the problem was found. There were just a couple of ball-bearings left inside the bushing. Someone tried to change the presser bar before? Noone knows. So I ordered new ball bearings from ebay. According to the parts catalogue the size is 1/16". So, my question is, has anyone changed those bearings before? I took also off the presser bar. Does it effect the timing of the walking foot system? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
