Members ryano Posted March 19, 2009 Members Report Posted March 19, 2009 (edited) Thank you so much! You are a life saver! You just earned yourself a stirrup plate at no charge! I can see part number 58735 is home-made in mine. Do you have a part number for the foot you would like made so make sure we are on the right page with that? I will be studying your pics for a while. Thanks again! Edited March 19, 2009 by ryano Quote
Members ryano Posted March 19, 2009 Members Report Posted March 19, 2009 Well I think a may know a little more on whats going on with this machine now buy studying your pictures. It will take me a bit to get the machine up and going again. I'm working in the dark with no light, so to speak. I have no prints, nothing to refer to as far as measurements. I now see 3 parts that have been replaced with parts that may have been made in a "local" machine shop. Hat's off to whomever made these parts(I think). A few things I that I see are wrong are that non of the corners have been chamfered causing binding in the corners because of lack of clearances. I will not let this machine beat me! Quote
Members ryano Posted March 21, 2009 Members Report Posted March 21, 2009 Well thanks again for all your help. I got it up and going finally. I had every nut, pin and bolt out of it. I am now a 97-10 expert! lol I just need to adjust the tension a little. Quote
Members mdpeterson Posted March 22, 2009 Members Report Posted March 22, 2009 ryano; My computer has been down for a few days so I have not been able to keep up on your progess. Sounds like you are getting a handle on the old stitcher. If I can be of any more help just holler. Let me know of your progress on the additional plates and feet. Mike Quote
Members ryano Posted March 22, 2009 Members Report Posted March 22, 2009 Thanks guys! It was a sweet challenge! I have rebuild a lot of machinery from robots, lathes, to CNC mills and the sewing machines are the most challenging. Well Mr. Peterson I would like to know the part number of the foot you would like. They are listed in the 97-10 parts manual. I am assuming a left and right foot. Once I have that I will get started on it for you. Quote
Members ryano Posted March 22, 2009 Members Report Posted March 22, 2009 Oh by the way, I am going to run Landis I needles in my machine. They are a little long, but they will work fine with a little modification. I just do not want to step down to a 794 needle. Quote
Members ryano Posted March 22, 2009 Members Report Posted March 22, 2009 It stitches very nicely. Here's a pic of it sewing 2 12oz pieces together with 277 top and bottom thread. Quote
