Members SkullCanyon Posted August 15, 2014 Members Report Posted August 15, 2014 Well last Monday I picked up a Cowboy 4500 in north Texas that was as new for a good price. Put it through its paces and it sews flawlessly, nice machine Bob Kovar. Thanks. Then on Wednesday I got a call on my Pearson #6 that had been on the market for quite a while. Sold it to a very happy saddle maker here in AZ. Great week for machinery, happy days. Now back to work.

Members Colt W Knight Posted August 21, 2014 Members Report Posted August 21, 2014 If that is the same machine I saw for sale in Texas, I was hoping it would go unsold until I got a chance to get over to Texas in a few weeks. Congrats. Looks like I have to buy a new one. Quote
Moderator Wizcrafts Posted August 22, 2014 Moderator Report Posted August 22, 2014 If we lived closer to each other I'd sell you my CB4500 so I can buy a CB5500 (25" arm). I had to sew a double leather 3" wide belt and avoid the Dee-rings. It required some acrobatics to fold the long end up or down to sew across where it needed to be done.

Rule No 1 "thou shalt never sell a working sewing machine" I will always sell a working sewing machine.......that I no longer have a need for.

I live in Texas near Ft Worth. Still got the 4500 for sale? I'm in the market for a good used one. Quote
Moderator Wizcrafts Posted August 27, 2014 Moderator Report Posted August 27, 2014 The 4500 wasn't actually posted for sale anywhere. It is used almost every weekday in our shop. I was speaking hypothetically, if we lived closer to each other (rather than half way across the Country), I might consider selling it and moving up.

Members Colt W Knight Posted August 28, 2014 Members Report Posted August 28, 2014 I wish I was closer too, Wiz. I have decided to save up for the larger machine. Quote
Members SkullCanyon Posted August 30, 2014 Author Members Report Posted August 30, 2014 I have to admit that I do miss having the Pearson around here. Since I don't ride MC's anymore she was kind of my shovel head old school iron. Great machine. This Cowboy model gets the job done though, I like it. Just received an inline foot system from Bob Kovar for it. Any one have a heads up on the adjustment needed to make it work? I tried to install it and got frustrated. The presser foot and walking foot are binding and the presser foot is not securing the work at all. I put the double toe back on and reset for it because I had a job to get sewn up. I want to try this foot out though. Anyone using this inline foot? Quote Skull Canyon LeatherKenny Hopkins1-443-553-8365 Wellborn, Floridawww.SkullCanyonLeather.com
Moderator Wizcrafts Posted August 30, 2014 Moderator Report Posted August 30, 2014 I have the inline feet, not foot. There are two pieces required. You absolutely must use the special inline inside foot in order to use the back foot. Both are shorter than the harness set. So, you'll need to lower the presser bar enough to get the pseudopod foot to reach the throat plate. Then, you must readjust the alternating foot crank on the back of the left end of the head. This crank controls the ratio of alternation between the two feet.
