Members Sylvia Posted January 7, 2013 Members Report Posted January 7, 2013 Most of these require the bobbin while sitting in the case with the bobbin facing you to unspool counter clockwise (anti-clockwise). Meaning that when you draw the bobbin thread from the case, the bobbin will spin anti-clockwise Here's a service manual for a 29u-XXXX Most of the information should work for you. (it also has a better picture of the bobbin going into the case http://www.parts.singerco.com/IPsvcManuals/29U171A_172A_173A.pdf Here's a parts list that might help some too. http://www.parts.singerco.com/IPpartCharts/29-4.pdf Here's mine Hey... why don't you send that to me. I love old heavy singers. Quote A teacher pointed at me with a ruler and said "At the end of this ruler is an idiot." I got detention when I asked "Which end?"

Members Sylvia Posted January 7, 2013 Members Report Posted January 7, 2013 LOL yeah I know. You would have to just give it to me to make it worth it. Quote A teacher pointed at me with a ruler and said "At the end of this ruler is an idiot." I got detention when I asked "Which end?"
Members sinpac Posted January 7, 2013 Members Report Posted January 7, 2013 Much prettier than mine... Is there a service manual available that tells how to clean and adjust...well everything? PM me your email and I will send you all the manuals I have for the 29 series machines. Chris Quote "It ain't about how hard you hit.

Members Nightshade Posted January 7, 2013 Author Members Report Posted January 7, 2013 @Chris...thank you I wonder if the problem is that the arm that puts pressure on the tension disks from the foot. It hung up a couple times and the foot wouldnt go down. Maybe that arm got tweeked when it hung up? Quote
Members skeeter Posted January 8, 2013 Members Report Posted January 8, 2013 Sylvia thank you for posting those links will come in very handy. Just picked up a 29-4 this will help me with it thanks again. Quote
Members lowlife Posted January 8, 2013 Members Report Posted January 8, 2013 If anyone is needing parts for a 29-4 I have a parts machine that I bought for next to nothing to replace some parts on my working machine I even have to wax cup and the TABLE. I assure you I will sell the parts worth your money. If you live close enough you can come get the whole thing if you are interested.

Members Sylvia Posted January 8, 2013 Members Report Posted January 8, 2013 Sylvia thank you for posting those links will come in very handy. Just picked up a 29-4 this will help me with it thanks again. You are welcome. That's the one good thing about these old Singers... The company that owns singer is keeping the archive available for these old machines. There are gaps in the materials but most of them are available.
