Pfaff 145/545 owners – Little help needed

[hugocrafts]

Hello.

So, recently I lost this little screw (see on the photo below) that holds the bevel gears cover. I was wondering If any of you guys – owners of Pfaff 545 or Pfaff 145 perhaps would like to take a measure of the length of this screw hopefully? I tried to search it in the Pfaff parts manual that I got but I couldn't find the dimensions. Thanks in advance.

Best regards

this is the cover for the "right side" gear box and will not fit the hook drive gears.

 

 

Just google the parts number:  91-000 073-15

Screw is M3.5x9

If it was me I´d either order one from a dealer near you or tap a new thread maybe M4 or M5 or so.

Indeed It says M3.5 x 9mm. Hm...but that's weird because I was expecting to be a little longer maybe, because there's a 2 holes on the cover (see photo) and I thought the screw should go into both holes because If it's indeed only 9 mm long then it should be screwed only into 1 hole on the hook gear cover leaving the second empty? Is someone willing to check this?

You need 2 screws one from the left the other from the right. Check the casting - you have 2 threaded screw holes.

Gotcha. In that case it seems like I didn't have the second screw in a first place. I'll get them both now. Thanks for that and have a nice day.
