Looking for a holster plate that will fit or could be modified to fit my Ferdinand 900b Bull. I am hoping that this will allow me to sew the welting to the flaps of an English saddle. That said I am not sure whether a holster plate or a stirrup plat would be better. I emailed Cowboy to see if there plate might fit. But haven't heard anything yet. I spoke with Weaver the screw pattern seems correct but the needle slot is off.

I know this is an old post but I stumbled across it and thought it all looked pretty similar to a 205-64 Adler I had as it seems to be a needle feed machine rather than the a 441 style with walking foot. Coincidentally I wanted to fiddle with the foot a little to get it to be able to sew closer to edges. As you can see the Adler foot was not chicken feed. You'll laugh but I found one of my 133K13 darning feet fitted the bar perfectly and I was able to grind and polish it to make a nice foot with one toe very short and almost missing..

I am in Australia but in desperation prior to my 133k13 foot find I ended up conversing with a Barb Hershberger at Weaver who sent me the following:

Unfortunately, I don't have a Bull handy to measure.  But if you need a plate, maybe this will help.  These are the plates we supply for the CB-4500.  

I realize this is an old thread, but do you have any of these? 

[Old Coach Saddlery]

Thanks for the help. I actually picked up another  Bull and it had with it a number of plates someone had fabricated. They where just what I was looking for. The best part was I didn’t know it when I got the machine . I just stumbled upon them. 

[DavidMillsSaddlery]

Another Bull? So you like them so much you’re running two of them?

To be truthful I purchased it as a spare for parts. In the add for it I noticed it had a little damage when they moved it from what ever auction it had gone thru. The seller was not familiar with sewing machines so I offered him $500 pointing out the damage. Once I picked it up I made an attempt to bend the curved bolt that hold the spring for the presser foot on top of the machine. I now have 2 machines. One set up with 277 and the other with 207.  And another at my employers. Lol. 
 

My personal collection is 2 bulls a juki DNU1541 and a 30-70 Adler.

I have also sewn on a Juki pro 2000. same as a 441. I would recommend that machine or a quality clone. Easy to find parts. Nice machines.

I stumbled upon a 900b today myself! Are any of those plates you found duplicates that you could part with? Would you share photos? Thanks!
