Members DavidMillsSaddlery Posted November 27, 2011 Author Members Report Posted November 27, 2011 I might have found a ferdco pro 440 locally? what do these usually run$$$? How thick can they sew and what size thread range and needles are available? As well as service and repairs? Are ferdco people still in business? Quote
CowboyBob Posted November 27, 2011 Report Posted November 27, 2011 (edited) David, Yes,that turned out to be ok we couldn't fix a few of them but I think we did OK on the deal. Art is right the 97's are big machines & parts are getting very hard to find & you can't even get needles for them anymore,it's a shame cuz I get people calling me all the time for them. As far as for the the China machines Juki parts will fit & I'm certain they will still be making them 10yrs from now so I doubt if parts will ever be a problem. They also take a standard needle.

CowboyBob Posted November 28, 2011 Report Posted November 28, 2011 The Ferdco 440 is the same as the Cowboy Model#2500 we sell & they take a standard needle & will sew up to 7/16" thick & will a heavy thread.They just have a bottom feed in them that can leave teeth marks on the underneath side of the leather. It's the 97-10 you can't find needles & parts for. Quote Bob Kovar Toledo Industrial Sewing Machine Sales Ltd. 3631 Marine Rd Toledo,Ohio 43609 1-866-362-7397

Members DavidMillsSaddlery Posted December 1, 2011 Author Members Report Posted December 1, 2011 The price is right! Do you have these mounted on the edge of a smalle table? To make sewing big leather pieces easier? The 101 and 103 are supposed to be better machines than a 102, why is this?
