Members Paulcat Posted April 28, 2017 Author Members Report Posted April 28, 2017 Installed. yes clutch motor..1720. may have to get smaller pulley. So far so good. Would an adjustable belt work so I wont have to cut my table up to much? Friend said "tell them it wouldn't even turn when purchased". Screams now. Quote
Members Paulcat Posted April 28, 2017 Author Members Report Posted April 28, 2017 I will also need to relocate bobbin winder further back. So that raises the question if the adjustable belts work on their backside? Leather belt seems inadequate. Thanks for input. Quote
Members Paulcat Posted April 29, 2017 Author Members Report Posted April 29, 2017 I was able to check with 2 matching presser feet. Seems as though the front foot mechnism is bent towards the right. they still would bind and needle is off center within foot. I plan to take apart and inspect what I believe to be: part #91-108-002-91 page 37 (10) along with corresponding parts. My Pfaff145 is the H4 the other part similar seems to be for the H3 (108-001-91). So another question along with the belt question is this part available if its bad? (And I think like I'm on the right track.) I had no hits from a search. thanks for reading. Paul Quote
Members dikman Posted April 29, 2017 Members Report Posted April 29, 2017 Regarding the belt, I would just cut through between the holes to make a slot, then you can use standard belts. It will be much easier in the long run. Quote Machines wot I have - Singer 51W59; Singer 331K4; Seiko STH-8BLD; Pfaff 335; CB4500. Chinese shoe patcher; Singer 201K (old hand crank)
Members Paulcat Posted April 30, 2017 Author Members Report Posted April 30, 2017 I took out the presser bar? in question and it was fairly straight. Needle/bar is straight. Feet do not match up. Front foot does not sit square if centered to needle. ($95 + parts machine and I dont need parts). Seems more like a shim missing or their is a twist in the vertical cast arm that walks it? Anyone ever troubleshoot/replace these parts before? Based on being damaged or worn? Think their is a commercial sewing machine center near Portland when I give up.

Members Paulcat Posted April 30, 2017 Author Members Report Posted April 30, 2017 Considering the only info I can find are parts I'm guessing and removing and reinstalling. this photo shows a grey area that I wonder if there is supposed to be a shim. Its like if the walking mechanism was shimmed a little it may correct issues. Cant post photo. Quote
Members Paulcat Posted April 30, 2017 Author Members Report Posted April 30, 2017 oops photo too big. Quote
Members Paulcat Posted May 2, 2017 Author Members Report Posted May 2, 2017 Narrowed it down to the narrow part of shaft being bent. Supplier on ebay of this part for H3 says mine is not available. Will attempt to straighten. Guy I sold some wheels to this weekend is a commercial upholsterer and said he uses standard v belts with hog rings. Thanks for previous input. Quote
