Evo160K Posted October 30, 2015 Report Posted October 30, 2015 JW, Hopefully there's a YouTube video of an operating 45K76 somewhere in this eBay link. Hope it answers some questions about your machine http://www.ebay.com/itm/Singer-45K76-Cylinder-Bed-Antique-Darning-Industrial-Sewing-Machine-WATCH-VIDEO-/121739898772?nma=true&si=ogcjBitDrBM4ZPP%252B2tl2lR1VOOU%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 Quote
Members Jwfarms Posted October 30, 2015 Author Members Report Posted October 30, 2015 After lookin at the other rmachines.....that is a big pulley :-)...I've ran it but not sewed anythang with it... It runs great. Now that I have the manual (thanks to youguys), the plan is to clean and oil it and get to know it. What does the bobbin winder look like? Where can I buy replacement needles? Quote

Members jimi Posted October 31, 2015 Members Report Posted October 31, 2015 Hey JW, your machine looks like it will feed the leather just like any normal 45k21 etc.. i am not sure if this model came with the feed dog carrier or not but it looks as if it has one now and the jump foot mechanism has been taken off to allow you to feed the leather under the foot. also in the picture of the parts manual this model does not show a stitch length regulator screw?? but your machine has one,cool.you can see the bobbin winder in the parts manual in my last post. normally they are on the back of the machine near the fly wheel, (your flywheel has been changed) the other option was to mount it on the table near your belt. meanwhile you can use your drill,haha. if you cannot find needles near you, on ebay they sell them. after it is cleaned and oiled, see if it stitches!!. by the way, the screw on the arm is for attaching a swing guide so you might want to hold on to that because normally the guide plate screws on near your needle plate, but your machine does not have that area machined to receive that plate. these old swing guides pop up now and again on the net, but not too often. if you are a little handy and have the time you could make one. anyway good luck and if you need any pictures, just say, regards jimi.
