Thanks Guys for all the advice. Wizcraft I'm going to place an order trough Toledo for the thread #138 and Needle #23. As well as for some worn out part and a 2" pulley if they carry them.

Thanks for not letting me hook up that ten incher oh man would I have been in trouble.

Also I'm Looking into a repair manual through Ron Kerbes Industrial sewing Machine repair In Los Angeles, Ca. to work on my timing issue. Anyone ever used Him before?

How tight should the safety clutch be against the locking plate with two set screws?

Had to take off the drive gear- to tight the spring container for the clutch action. It was Falling Out.

Worked Out Nice!

Just How Close should the drive Gear me to the Plat, so the clutch mechanism will function?

Thank you.

Pictures? They make a size 25 needle for this machine, and I successfully sewed 346 thread with this machine for years in leather! Only drawback was the small bobbin!

could it handle thick veg tan? There is a 111w103 for sale locally for $500. I think I am going to get it if I can be certain it can sew through 12-14oz of veg tan.

You would be pushing a very old machine to its extreme's, not really designed for that size leather

It can do up to 1/4 inch maybe 5/16 of an inch… But as stated earlier, that would be pushing it! But for $500 go get it… I called mind my money maker! Because it is used more than any of my other 10 sewing machines…
