Adler 105-64

[Norseman56]

Hello!

I service and repair sewing machines in central Arkansas.
Today I ran into a problem that I can't easily fix.  An old Adler 405-64 that's been sitting in storage for a long time, was full of dirt dauber nests and rust.  The presser bar had rusted so much that it has become one with the bushings.  No amount of heat and beating could get it to release.  So... does anyone know of any place where I can buy needle bar and top/bottom bushings?  I'd really appreciate any help on this.
If my info is correct, the part numbers are as follows:  Bushing (top) 004-00-143.  Presser bar 004-00-059. Lower bushing 064-00-038.

 

Thank you very much!

I've worked on 1,000's of stuck machines over the years & this is what I do.Mixup alittle used motor oil & diesel fuel  1/2& 1/2 lube both bushings every couple hrs with a couple of drops & tap on the bar with a solid piece of metal drive pin as big or bigger than the pressure bar using a hammer(light to medium taps) & eventually it'll break loose.

heating the bushing with a gas blowtorch may help too
