jar944 Report post Posted July 8, 2014 I just picked up a very cheap Juki 563-3 (seller claimed it was motor clutch issue). It ended up being a bent upper feed spring rod (causing the feed drive rod to bind against the main shaft. That was easy enough to fix in a press and facing cut on the lathe. However I managed to break the drive pin assembly for the take up arm. I think I can machine a new one, however I would like to have a backup plan it it doesnt work. Ive been been looking for replacement parts(and found a few places look like they have the part) but was hoping to get a suggestion as to a reputable shop to prder from.

shoepatcher Report post Posted July 10, 2014 make sure you drill holes in the body of the part you fabricated. That part had a wick inside of it with oil holes in it. other parts I would buy since they are not tow expensive. When ordering from Luke at MJ Foley, ask him for both genuine and generic parts and prices. A lot of times, the generic parts are as good as the genuine and a lot cheaper, especially for your Juki since it is a copy of the original Singer 111W155. Just my two cents. I deal with Luke all the time so I know parts and prices. glenn Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This was the last (known) issue to fix and I was anxious to test the machine since I had been unable to previously. I ran it last night and other than needing to adjust thread tension it seems to work well. So far It would appear (at least in my mind) my $145 gamble was well spent.
