Heard Report post Posted July 12 I've seen a lot of posts regarding the 335 sub-models. I have one that doesn't appear to have any sub model number. Can anyone provide more info for this machine? I specifically want to know about needle/thread sizes. I have a couple of 335 manuals that I've downloaded but I don't see really any info regarding this particular model. Thanks, Heard Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

canvassewing Report post Posted July 31 No answer, what a pitty. I have a Pfaff 335 with Erz. Nr. (which, as I understand, is an abbrevation for "Erzeugnis Nummer = product number) "901-0335-044/001". I do not know if this is a H2, H3 or H4 machine or has classification B/C M N. The problem is how to translate these Erz. Nr. to the usual subclass numbers (as -17/03 or -40/03) or B/C-classification. I could buy a used Pfaff 1245 with Erz. Nr. 901-0335-044/01, but I stay away buying this machine because I do not know if it has the classification CPMN etc. So there are these Pfaff machines - mostly those cream-colored ones with brown front plate - where Pfaff did not imprint the usual B/C M N etc, but only the Erz. Nr. This is utterly frustrating! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shoepatcher Report post Posted August 1 (edited) These late models were all H4 I believe meaning 14mm lift. Hope that helps Edited August 1 by shoepatcher Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heard Report post Posted August 14 (edited) Thanks for the replies. I'm sorry I didn't post more pics. I actually didn't have access to the machine until yesterday as I had it in the shop being serviced. I'm not so sure they did me any favors but they did indicate to use this needle system.

shoepatcher Report post Posted August 16 late 80's machine. Probably a B class with high lift. Nice machine. Uses #92 thread top and bottom. Can use #138 thread but has to have a few modifications on it. glenn Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shoepatcher Report post Posted August 17 very nice machine. I have operations manual and parts list from this model I believe. glenn Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heard Report post Posted August 18 Thanks! I wish I still had my Consew 226R from back in the 70's. I haven't had a machine since about 1982 or so and I wasn't too sure about this machine but I only paid $300 for it. I do have to switch out the clutch motor for a servo, but still, I'm happy. Glen, I would gladly pay for a manual or a pdf if you have such. Heard Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shoepatcher Report post Posted August 20 Ok. Tell me what you need specially. parts list? Operations manual? mechanics manual? all three if I have them? The 1245 was superior to the Consew 226 just so you know. I have sewn on and owned both. glenn Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heard Report post Posted August 20 Hi Glenn. I would like the ops manual and maybe a parts list. I think that would be beneficial. Thanks, Heard Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
canvassewing Report post Posted August 22 I have bought a Pfaff 335 exactly like @Heard's two months ago. With the machine came an original Pfaff instruction book, which I scanned into a file. Total size is 45 MB, so I cannot attach the file here. Is there an other option to upload the file in some other place? @shoepatcher could you describe how to use #138 thread and the few modifications?

shoepatcher Report post Posted August 22 The manual you got is from a Pfaff series older than the machine you purchased. It will work though. I think I have a later copy as well. glenn Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shoepatcher Report post Posted August 25 ok You must enlarge the hole in both the feed dog and the throat plate to accommodate #138 thread. I always increase the top tension when using the #138. Also, where the thread goes in both the back and front of the finger tag as it clears the tab on each stitch, I slight shorten the tab as as well as round the corn slightly. This allows the thicker thread to better clear the tab on each stitch. As to the parts list, the one i have for your machine is from 1989. That is the one for your specific machine. I have 335 parts list from 1950- 2017. glenn Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have a parts list "Pfaff 335" "Bestandteileliste" with no "No. 296-12-14075/1077". Is this the list that you refer to as from 1989? Uwe K Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
