mcmill45 Report post Posted June 29, 2023 (edited) Hello, I recently picked up a Singer 112w139 double needle machine. Overall it seems nice, but it's missing the knee lift and I'd like to get that issue sorted. I was able to find the knee lift assembly online for relatively inexpensive, but I need the lifter "arm" that connects it to the mechanism on the rear of the machine. Any ideas where I might source this? It appears to be just a bent rod with a spring and a keeper nut on it, so I imagine worst case I could fabricate something up, though if I can get something ready made that would be even better. My machine Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Another alternative would be a foot lift rather then a knee lift. This would ensure you are not pressing down on the " go faster " pedal while at the same time lifting the presser foot up with your knee. Use a heavy gauge wire / rod to connect to the hole in the end of the lifting mechanism on the rear of the machine and extending below the the table / pan. At that end of the wire/rod make a loop in the wire / rod and connect a chain or wire. The other of the chain / wire then would be connected to a pedal alongside the existing pedal. kgg Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shoepatcher Report post Posted July 5, 2023 (edited) Would not be hard to build this. You need a round shaft, collar, spring, washer, cotter pin. Or call Collier Equipment or Bob Kovar at Toledo sewing and see if they can get the parts. part # rod #223684 collar #227227 screw #200113 spring #206628 cotter pin #202302 glenn Edited July 5, 2023 by shoepatcher grammar Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
