Members Ghoust6 Posted Tuesday at 07:17 AM Author Members Report Posted Tuesday at 07:17 AM I will add pictures today. I want to remove the lower fork connection (part no. 3037) from my Singer 18-2. It’s the fork attached to the lower connection rod that transfers rotation from the main shaft to the hook shaft. I need to detach it from the connecting stud without damaging anything. Quote
Members Constabulary Posted Tuesday at 08:24 AM Members Report Posted Tuesday at 08:24 AM I see so it´s the fork. They are attached with 2 screws, one on the lower end and one centered right under the fork end. IIRC the "fork screw" can be reached from a hole under the top shaft bushing behind the hand wheel.

Members Ghoust6 Posted Tuesday at 04:21 PM Author Members Report Posted Tuesday at 04:21 PM Thank you constabular. That much i know but when i unscrew the nut the one centered right under the fork end and the lower one there is no way i can move the fork. Pictures shows clearly that everything is unscrewd and fork don't care. Quote

Contributing Member friquant Posted yesterday at 08:27 PM Contributing Member Report Posted yesterday at 08:27 PM I don't have a Singer 18-2, but I do have a Singer 31-15 which has a similar-looking mechanism. I have not taken it apart though. I'm not sure if the stud is threaded into the fork or if the fork just slides over the stud. With the nut off, I would check if the fork can be gently pryed away from the other linkages. Meaning, in your last picture you would pry the fork toward the camera. Quote friquant.

Nobody works here, it's just a collection of Leatherworking enthusiasts who check in when they have time. They answer these things out of a love of the craft and a desire to help. It's worth a lot more than you'll pay for it.
