Members hyttogpine Posted May 6, 2015 Members Report Posted May 6, 2015 Europeanleather Don't know if you still are interested in this machine/. And I don't know if Darren Brosowski is a big shot in here, but when he declare the lack of reverse on 45K25. It seems that he is on collision course to Singers own manual . Hi There, this is the only manual i have seen for this class of machine on the net. 45Kmanual.pdf SIL10-145-151a.jpg I my self have found a 45K25 for a couple a weeks ago, but have big problems keeping the contact with the seller (it's not a eBay item !). But today we make a date for me to come and see and try first. The machine has orginal table on orginal stand with mounted clutch motor. From pictures (in background in a corner). it seems there's a treadle base too. Looking forwards too se the equipment. And of course to bee agree off the price. But I am going for this machine because off is reverse, Europeanleather. Quote
Members jimi Posted May 6, 2015 Members Report Posted May 6, 2015 (edited) Hi There hyttogpine, good luck with buying the machine, if you need a picture of any parts to see if they are missing then just say. i have a 45k1,45k21 and a 45ksv99, and as far as i know and have seen the 45k21,25,63 and 78 have no reverse. you can see this in the parts manual in the description. if a machine has reverse it will state it in the description of the machine. the 45ksv99 does have reverse on it. it is a screw and fixing nut to the top left of the stitch length adjuster. if the machine you are buying has reverse, then i do not think it is a 45k25. http://dixiesewingmachine.tzo.com/MANUALS/SINGERPARTS2/45K21,%2045K25,%2045K63,%20&%2045K78.pdf unless on the newer 45k25 machines they incorporated a reverse? if you go to this post, will see that there are no machines with reverse. on ebay uk there are two machines with reverse and both are class 45k89. also the 45k92 "flat bed and 45k93 cylinder arm have the reverse options. you can tell by the head of the stitch length adjusting screw, because it is larger and it has 3 knurled rings to it. also you can see the screw to the top left with the nut as i said before, which is for fixing the stitch length so you can go forward and reverse and not loose your stitch length position. i do not know if there are other 45s with reverse, but these ones do have reverse. maybe you should ask the seller for some clear pictures of the machine? in my opinion, if it has reverse ,then it is probably a 45k93, if it is a 45k25 then i do not think that it will have reverse?

Members hyttogpine Posted May 7, 2015 Members Report Posted May 7, 2015 Hallo jimi Now I'm began being scared of make someone wrong. First of all, I'm not even a amateur. And my English is poor. But referring to the document you uploaded/linked yourself, 19th.nov.2014. Is tells at page 8, "Reversing direction of feed and altering length of stitch". I have believe that 45K25 have the ability to work in reverse. P.S. I'm reading and writing from a tablet and I'm not able to upload a picture of my coming sawing machin. (After several try in both mode: Flash 9 and basic uploader) Equipped with the handle for stitch and hopefully reverse. Is it not possible to attach a picture from my photo album on my tablet ? or do I first have to upload my picture to a web-server and then referrer to this URL adress ? Please correct me, but first take a look ad the manual quote name="jimi" post="384979" timestamp="1416356514"] 45Kmanual.pdf Jimi, I have many nights, gets thrilled by yours photos of shiny and well caretaking parts from yours machines. This is things I will like to know about. Cleaning and polish procedures. And there will be dozen of issues you can guide me. I thanks you for helping attitude. Quote
Members jimi Posted May 7, 2015 Members Report Posted May 7, 2015 (edited) Hello hyttogpine, Mmmmmm, this manual speaks in general of the class 45k although it just says 45K (45 is the class number and 25 is the variety), and as you can see it does not say any model number of machine, just 45k. probably because there are many variations and they did not want to refer to every one of them? the most common type of machine is being reffered to here. if you see the original manual i have uploaded later, it is basically the same in the sense that it does not refer to any specific variety, just "class 45k". the newer manual (with the 45k in big letters on the front) was probably the updated one as both machines are together and both have the reverse option. before there was one booklet for the flat bed and another booklet for the cylinder arm type. it can be confusing some times?? all of these numbers and types etc..etc in the original manual there is no reverse option shown? so when i said " for this class of machine", that is meaning the class 45k in general. (i dont know if you can upload from your tablet. but from the pc you just take the picture from the file folder not the web page. you might have to resize the picture to less pixels to upload it??). and thank you for you kind comments hyttogpine, i am glad you liked the pictures. sometimes a picture can save a whole lot of confusing words. if you want anymore pictures just let me know. For cleaning and polishing? have you seen the post "pfaff 335 journey to the unknown" regards jimi. http://www.1stinfantrydivision.de/images/stories/PDF_Dateien/Singer%2045K%20Instructions%20Manual%20-%20User%20Guide.pdf http://www.1stinfantrydivision.de//images/stories/PDF_Dateien/Singer%2045K%20Descriptions%20of%20Subclasses.pdf 45Kmanual.pdf Edited May 7, 2015 by jimi Quote
