Need Help Setting Up Cowboy Cb3200

[msdeluca]

I had a similar problem on my 3200. I called Ryan at Neel's Saddlery. There are a couple of parts behind the face plate that are binding and need to be lapped to increase clearance. On my machine, I could use the hand lever to raise and lower the presser foot, but the pedal assembly would raise the presser foot with great difficulty and then the presser foot wouldn't lower all the way back down to the needle plate.

He told me that they have had to trouble shoot this problem on a couple of machines. I did what he told me and the foot pedal operation works properly now. It was easy and took about 30 minutes to resolve.

There is also a guide screw in the left side of the front walking foot bar that runs up and down in a vertical slot that faces the left end of the machine. The screw was binding against the side of the slot. I took a file and flattened the side of the guide screw to eliminate the bind.

I would imagine that Bob at Toledo is aware of the problem as well.

Call whomever you purchased the machine from and they will walk you through it.

If you can't get help, let me know and I can take pictures of what I did.

Fixed. I did exactly what msdeluca suggested via Ryan Neels and it fixed the issue. Tolerances are just a bit tight out of the box on the CB3200 and have to be relieved.

Glad you got it worked out.
