Finding a the right spare part for an old Adler Industrial sewing machine can often be a big challenge.

　

　

If you buy an old Singer, you will most certainly find documentation and spare part lists on the web, for Adler machines this not that easy to find.

Many have search all over the web for spare part lists for their old Adler without luck. And many had to pay for a partlist or manual just to discover it is for a different subclass or the wrong machine class.

To find the part you need the right part number.

Often the manufacturer has changed the Machines. Improvement and corrections of errors. The new replacement part/ amendment part numbers is written down, but the number on the replaced part is not.

An example is the class 105 and 104 where the shuttle is changed two times. First for a bigger one, to fit that bigger shuttle they had to change many other parts to, like the shuttle driver.

The shuttle change number two; was from an open frame type shuttle to a same size closed frame shuttle, with a different tension spring and adjustment screw. The number on the parts the machine originally came with is not written down in the part lists.

This makes it very difficult to find the right shuttle for an old machine with the first type of shuttle.

I addressed Dürkopp Adler with this problem on their new blog .

I gave them some old shuttle numbers; they did some researching and finally gave me the right replacement numbers.

Dürkopp Adler has promised to write down those old numbers of changes in the new edition of their partlists.

The class 105 (and 104 flatbed) first came with a small open frame shuttle from its forerunner class 5; # 05 195 and the bobbin # 05 242 (the first letters in DA# is from the machine class ex.05 = class 5) the closed frame shuttle; # 005 00 290 4 with bobbin # 005 00 242 0 replaced this. This shuttle is still available in stock as # 0005 00 290 4 (small) and bobbin # 0005 00 242 0

The small shuttle in was later changed for the bigger # 065 00 185 4 bobbin # 020 00 201 0

This was replaced by the current big (industrial standard) shuttle; # 0204 15 010 4 (Big) and same bobbin # 020 00 201 0 (same as class 205 and 204)

　

　

　

To summarize this up; your class 5 and 4 machine will use the small shuttle. (And also a Singer 45K shuttle if you change the needle system, same size shuttle, minor different hook tip)

Your 105 and 104 machine will use either the small or the big shuttle (depending on date of production or if it is been rebuild)

Your 205 or 204 machine will use the big shuttle (that big shuttle will also fit the Juki 441 and others)

　

The first small shuttle #05 195 (class. 4/5 and early 104/105) has an open frame shuttle with a very small tension adjustment screw, that always will wear out too fast. This screw and tension spring is obsolete. The rest of the shuttle may be fine, but you have to buy the complete new shuttle to correct the problem. It may be possible to change for the new bobbin house # 005 00 292 4, it looks like a fit (se picture).

The new blog Dürkopp Adler has started "The world of Dürkopp Adler spare part"

Has a download section with many of the old big classes

They have seen the need of spare parts and documentations for the old classes. The old machines was made to good, they simply will not die.

Here you will find manuals, spare part lists and attachments for the old classes not covered on Dürkopp Adler's main site.

Even obsolete parts can be ordered and made
