545 sewing machine in pieces

[jock]

 I have a 545-walking foot machine I was given  in pieces and I am putting it together. I am having trouble getting the pressor foot to move up to allow the  material to move rearward (away from you) when it is sewn,  the rest of the timing is fine I might be missing a part it has got me tossed

I moved your post to leather sewing machines.  This is where the machine guys hangout.

How about some photos/videos showing what it is doing?

My first guess is you will need to balance the lift of the inner toe to the outer toe. If that is the case, this video by Uwe may help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iiaaT1npYrQ&t=192s
