Uwe, one of those pots came with my 111WSV77 (appears to be the same as a 111W153). It took me a while to figure out how it was supposed to fit the machine! I gather they normally only came on 155's?

Gump, that's a monster motor! I thought their motors normally ran at 1725 rpm, yours must have gobs of torque!!

Machines wot I have - Singer 51W59; Singer 331K4; Seiko STH-8BLD; Pfaff 335; CB4500.

Thank you all for your help. You guys ROCK! The motor is a biggy. I havent been able to find any help to get the table/motor up stairs to my sewing room. My wife helped me get it off the truck, but she aint big enough to help me mussle it stairs. As soon as I get it together I will be needing some more help. I will glady make a clean PDF of my manuals.

I am looking for the clamp that holds the light to the ball on the back of the machine. Maybe one of you guys have one lying around, if not I will make something for now.

teched,

I would replace the light with a new LED light. Those Singer lights never gave off much light to begin with. I may have a few in my shop. Also, blow the dust and lint out of the motor. It is packed in there pretty good according to the pictures you posted. Those model of Singer clutch motors are like tanks and will run forever if you take care of them. Great Find!

Thanks for the cleaning sugestion. I planned on giving a good cleaning one I get it moved to my sewing room. Some people were asking about the pulley sizes. The motor pulley is 3" and the machine pulley is 3.25" So pretty much direct drive. The guy a bought it from, got it from the original owner. The original owner is 82 years old. I am really thinking about contacting him for some history on the machine. He was involved in an accident a "few" years ago and didn't used the machine again. I hate to bother him, but he would probaly know everything I would want to know.

I´m sure I have a clamp but not the one for the ball, I have one that clamps the arm the cable goes through - I will look for it tomorrow.

You also can replace the bulb with and LED bulb - I did that on my Singer lamps as well - works fine - nice bright light.

I just made a clamp that works for know, but you never know if someone has one around. I was thinking LED bulb would be great.

You did real well with that deal, it looks pretty clean considering its age! Plus all the other bits and pieces AND manuals (I've never seen one for the light, which I have on one of mine), a rarity in itself. I'd be very interested in a good scan of the manual, as it covers the 153 (which I think one of mine is).
