Haikusewing Report post Posted October 6, 2024 Hello! I acquired a Juki 9010a-SS needle feed a while ago and am wondering if it’s easy to switch out the throat plate and feed dogs to the larger SH heavy duty pieces. I can’t find much info on this but am wondering if anyone else has successfully done this without replacing other parts on the machine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eblanche Report post Posted October 6, 2024 I have done the opposite swap on my 5410. Very easy, and I do it often lightweight back to medium weight. Helpful guide for the different feed dogs and throat plates for different 9010 models to pair with the type of sewing you do. https://www.juki.co.jp/industrial_e/products_e/apparel_e/1needle_lock_e/detail.php?cd=DLN-9010A_E Most Juki dealers should have good access to those parts as long as they are not backordered.

Haikusewing Report post Posted October 7, 2024 (edited) @eblanche Awesome, that’s good to hear. I will look into ordering the parts. Did you have to swap anything else like the tension spring, etc? Edited October 7, 2024 by Haikusewing Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eblanche Report post Posted October 7, 2024 I did swap out maybe 5-8 different pieces including the tension springs/assembly and presser spring but this was because it was unclear which exact version and parts were inside of my machine along with the usage of the machine being a question. I did NOT need to change the needle bar as I still use the same max/min size needles. All I mess with now are the feed dogs and throat plate to match. This is going from size 8-18. The manual/parts list for 5410's also includes a list of all the different parts for the heavier versions towards the end. Not sure if the 9000 series has this.
