Hi folks - brand new here and planning in my retirement to get into leatherworking, mostly upholstery.  I have a possible line on a United walking foot, possibly triple feed, with a tag WE 8410084.  Do any of you machine guru's have any info on this?  It is just another Singer111/Juki clone, or something else.  Any info appreciated.  

 

Thx

We’re gonna need a picture of that machine. That tag may be just the serial number. We also need some location info, Europe, North America, elsewhere?

Here in the U.S. there’s a United Sewing company that apparently sells rebranded clones of Juki, Durkopp Adler, and other machines.

Thanks Uwe,

btw are you originally from der Vaterland?  My wife is German - Siegen area.  We lived over there 8 years - Stuttgart, Braunschweig, and Baden-Baden areas.  What a great experience.  And thanks for help.

 

Regards,

 

Chip

Yup, German import here, from the Lake Constance/Bodensee area.

That machine in the pictures sure looks like a Singer 111W155 or Consew 225 class machine, or some other variation. It does appear to be a compound feed machine with top/bottom/needle feed. No reverse. If it’s a Singer, it’ll say Singer or Simanco on many of the parts inside. Otherwise, it’s likely a rebadged Consew, and you may seek Seiko markings.

These are generally good starter machines, easy to work on and to learn sewing machine maintenance. Parts are generally cheap and readily available. My first industrial machine and gateway drug was a Consew 225.

Thanks again Uwe - ironically, at the local recycle center this morning after my first post, I met a guy with a really clean '88 Ford Ranger like I used to have - we started talking about  it and he showed me the only  work it has required in 35 years - a panel replacement on the front seat - which he did using in his words "an old sewing machine my father had."  I asked him what kind it was and what were his plans - Singer 111w155, and I'm going to pick it up now.  

 

$75.00  :-)

I'm sure I'll be back with more questions!  

And thanks again!

You could add this to your profile.  It is helpful when your are seeking information relevant to your location, or for others that would need it to understand your posts more clearly.

It's surprising what can happen at times when you just have a nice talk with folks!!

 New toy!  This pic after first cleaning.  Going to do second cleaning now.  It has a newer belt, no visibly broken parts and at first hand rollovers seems relatively tight. Any recommendations on near original hammered finish paint ( other than Home Depot rattle can?). Ordering gear motor drive.

You could try a automotive supply house or a local body shop.

A couple of manuals that may help you in the future:
