Old Coach Saddlery Report post Posted January 18, 2018 So I wasn't really looking to buy another machine but I came across this Bull on craigslist. It looked from the picture to have some damage to the top of the machine where the spring is for the jump foot. And it was set up to run on a pneumatic motor. I contacted them and pointed out the damage and said I would be interested in the machine for parts and made a VERY low offer. Since I already have a Bull I had nothing to loose. I drove out to the Cape ( Cape Cod ) and picked it up yesterday. Looks like they got the machine via auction. It came from a Samsonite luggage factory. Of course now that I have I want to make it run. I THINK I CAN, I THINK I CAN. Plus check out the custom made throat plates, Looks like they are for the welting on the luggage. Also came with an exploded view of the Bull and a parts list. Some thing I have never seen. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Old Coach Saddlery Report post Posted April 2, 2018 Lol. not that talented. Think I'll stick to saddler. I was able to straighten the foot spring on the top of the machine. Gave it a cleaning and a test run on my tire stand. Sews like a dream. Changed out motors on the stand with a clutch motor I had sitting in my shop. Built a sewing pedal using a horse shoe a friend gave me. If I keep collecting sewing machines I'm going to have to expand the shop. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leathersmyth Report post Posted April 2, 2018 I would be interested in the throat plates if you decide that they are taking up too much space... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alpha2 Report post Posted April 2, 2018 I'm liking that foot pedal! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old Coach Saddlery Report post Posted April 3, 2018 Think I'll hang on to the throat plates. They are the best part. They mightbe handy sewing the welting in the front of the English saddle flaps. At least I hope so. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
