More Singer 241 help please

Recommended Posts

I do not have calipers, and the parts manual does not list dimensions...

I need the exact size of the OD of the shaft at the hand pulley end. I thought it was 9/16 so I looked for a pulley that was larger that had an ID or Bore of 9/16 but could not find a large pulley.

So...

I looked for a collar with a 9/16 ID/Bore and an OD of 1 inch to match the pulley I found them. Well I found it but it does not fit the machine shaft...

SO...

I went up to 5/8 and 1 inch. The 5/8 is large on the shaft and the chinese 1 inch does not fit the pulley.

AAAAAAAGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

So if anyone knows exactly the size or can pull their pulley and check I would be so thankful!

Maybe it is 9/16 and my first collars (Ruland) were made wrong. I can tell unless I go buy calipers just for this.

 

thnx

Try an open end wrench to measure the size.  (As long as it hasn't been sprung.)  It won't give you measurements to a thousandths of an inch. but will at least give you size to 1/16" (or mm if you use metric).

Even the cheapest plastic caliper you can buy on Amazon for $2.74 (http://a.co/475FoBc) is more accurate than your guessing game. Put some value on your time (and ours) and you'll be able to justify a decent caliper very soon. Once you have one you'll use it a lot.

19/32" drills and 1/2" bore pulleys are readily available.
