Attaching A Servo Motor

[Happy Hooligan]

Sounds like someone had an OLD J & K cluch motor replaced...and yes, that's old.

right on the mark... and I have two more to replace in the future too....

Can a servo motor be attached to a Singer 29U171A machine?

Thanks

Yes,you can by adding a piece of plywood underneath the back of the table(where the head mounts & run the motor belt to one of the pulleys underneath ,disconnect  the treadle rod off the bearing & add a piece to it to connect to the motor.

Probably won't any sense to you until you get a motor in your hand & then you should be able to figure it out .

Thanks Bob, I haven't got the sewing machine, it's on it's way. Can you recommend a motor?

Thanks again, Tom

Well I finally got my 29u171a Singer patcher machine. Having trouble getting it to feed the leather, stich and generally act right. This is my time using a machine and I have the manual and have read it thru several times now. Cleaned and oiled the machine per the manual. I have it threaded correctly, per the manual anyway. It's set up with 69 thread and a 29X4 needle. Doesn't want to pick up the bottom thread from the bobbin and when it does it bunches up in the bobbin and then stops. Also doesn't always feed leather along with the foot. I'm sure it's probably my in-experience in getting all the tensions right, but I'm getting a tad frustrated. Any pointers, ideas, suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks in advance.

I recommend that you start a new topic for this, please.
