153w-102 feed dog

[Guell]

Hello everyone I am new to the site but know of it I have gathered much information here. 

I was wondering if anyone could help me with my singer 153 w-102 I'm going to add a little video to show my question and I'm wondering if this part is supposed to move like this. Or if everyone knows how I can make it tighter what I need to do?

@Guell, I moved this to the Leather Sewing Machine sub forum. It should get proper attention here.

Hi Guell,

I took the end cap off my cylinder bed (different brand) , but mine looks different than yours. mine does not flop around like that, and the flopping seems detrimental to the feed actually working.

What I would do is first remove the slotted / hex screw which will allow the feed dog to be removed. this will gain you additional visibility and hopefully it will become more obvious what should be preventing the flop.

Taking pictures as you go will help you get it back together once you've solved the mystery.

Good luck! Post some pictures of your progress if you don't mind
