Singer 45K Treadle Base Parts Information or Parts List

[Evo160K]

Would someone have or know where I can find a  parts list for a Singer 45 treadle base (base only)?  Any information will be helpful.  A picture of the base is attached.  Thanks so much.

WOW - that is fancy - I have not seen one of these treadles in the wild.  Do you have the treadle and are just looking for parts?

Hi Yetibelle,

Base is on the way.  It may need a couple of upper support pieces in which case some fabrication will be required.  Hoping to find a parts list with pictures in order to get the correct scale for the part.

I have one with a flat bed 45k on it. What do you need to know?

Hi Matt,

The plate indicated by the arrow and the vertical support/bolt in the circle may be missing.  If so, I'll need to find them or fabricate them.  Usually the illustrated Singer parts list are drawn to scale,....helpful for fabrication.  That's why I'd like to find a parts list or get the measurements from someone with this type of base.

Your base looks to have different supports.

On a side note, how thick of veg tan can you comfortably sew through with your treadle?  That treadle flywheel looks massive.

Thanks for your interest.

Just to clear this up for me.  You have the 45K treadle now, just like in the picture but it is missing that support? Is that all your missing from it? You should make your own until you can find one.  However I suspect it may take a while to locate. Treadle are great, setup you should be able to get through some veg tan with that.  Depending on how hard you are on the machine you may not even need that bar.

Don't have it yet, the base (only) as in the picture is in transit to me.  It may need the pieces we've been discussing, there's some confusion about that, so I may have to find or make them, and I want to know about the dimensions.

Do you sew veg tan with yours?

Hi Al, have not been hear for a while! just got my PC back again "was a goner" i can measure that one for you no problem! happy to hear you found a treadle for your machine, well done and great find! 

yetibelle- the bar is to support the weight of the machine as the table has a cutaway to the front which in turn weakens the middle. the class 18 also had this and i suppose all tables that had a cutaways alike.. 17... etc?? i will have a look for a parts list but i think there is none floating around??? not 100% sure though...

Jimi, you're awesome, thank you for your kind offer.  Look forward to the dimensions.  Will you be able to determine the thread details on the support and the fasteners that hold it to the base?  That plate looks to be close to 10-12 mm thick?

Glad you got your PC fixed, they're such a mystery to me, I call them and electricity "Black Art".

Best regards,

Al
