Thank you to all members who responded this topic.

I will continue to try on, with the help of your suggestions.

As Sark9 said because it's a treadle machine there's no easy way to fit a foot pedal to lift the foot. Adapting a knee lifter is the only practical option that I can see.

With the help of this web site and your valuable suggestions,I have already completed my 45k25 table and knee lift projects.

 

I would like to thank member nickname “jimi” for sharing machine table size post at

 

https://leatherworker.net/forum/topic/74406-singer-45k-treadle-base-parts-information-or-parts-list/ 

by means of this subject I could reshape my old fur sewing table with jigsaw.

 

and also member nickname “friquant” for valuable video sharing . Even though I know knee lifter mechanism ,I could not  imagine application with chain, and watching this  video made my work.

 

I bought an original  Singer knee mechanism from one of dealers in my city,but I couldn’t find the hook like part,instead of this I used allen no 7 and 1.5 . I drilled a hole on 7 and inserted into allen 1.5  as “hook” for pulling chain mechanism.

 

I tried and it seems working. Thank you 👍

Wow, congratulations!
I've got a table coming to me this weekend with an old singer knee lift on it. Now I know what it will look like 😀

On my pfaff 545 I learned to grease the sliding plate that releases the tension discs when the feet are up...the knee lifter moved much easier after that.
