Members Colt W Knight Posted February 16, 2018 Members Report Posted February 16, 2018 I am curious, what motor comes with that HighTex. My cowboy has the the FS-550 Quote
Members catskin Posted February 16, 2018 Members Report Posted February 16, 2018 (edited) In fact you are not talking about assembling the machine but the stand. It is clear from the pictures that the machine only needed the flywheel put on. So the stands might be different depending on which dealer you bought from. The stand my CB 4500 is quite different from the one in your pictures. Edited February 16, 2018 by catskin Quote
garypl Posted February 16, 2018 Report Posted February 16, 2018 My CB4500 stand looks identical to Forester's Quote Cowboy 4500, Consew 206RB-4
Members brmax Posted February 16, 2018 Members Report Posted February 16, 2018 Nice machine ya got there Forester! Enjoy Garypl Its not surprising to me Im pretty sure the Cowboy brand is the US affiliate of Hightex. Somehow its still not surprising to me my Cobra stand is the same, although color is a bit different as is the table. With age it gets easier to be this way. Hey its Friday! Floyd Quote

Might this mean the shipment is on a pallet. With flywheel needing installed, the machine to be installed on the stand that requires assembly. I have a cloned machine also from the Juki 441 as many do. Interesting the technical manual question among I think all of us. Before any heat arises the videos of tuning and various aspects are actually great! On all the represented machines we talk about these days. In the past a mention and link somewhere for the Juki 441 manual was up so I printed one and was amazed at the help it provided. This information I had, for my Cobra was now Improved by learning of another Superb technical manual from the Artisian company. This manual of their Toro has information thats also based on the 441. So for some reference on these 441 clones keep this excelent link in your library. Of course your own brand and their professional dealers should be ask and informed first of any questions. http://www.artisansew.com/pdf/manuals/TORO_30_32_40_BT_manual.pdf good day Floyd Thanks for posting this link Floyd - this is a very clear manual for the 441 machine!

Members Singermania Posted February 22, 2018 Members Report Posted February 22, 2018 Hightex markets under three names, or did.....Hightex, Cowboy and Master. Master was black and has faded away. Yes that's the small stand, out here in Oz we have that one and the bigger stand. England does not have a Cowboy dealer so you can order direct from Australia and have it delivered to England or Britain or you can order direct from Hightex in China. Some people in both Australia and the USA think they might save money by buying direct but then have headaches and actually pay the same price, as we dealers buy in bulk so get the machines cheaper and we ship in bulk so get the freight cheaper. We keep those savings as our profit and you get the machine for the same price, plus of course its assembled and tested, comes with a local warranty and you can ask questions of the dealer. If you are going to buy Cowboy machine, buy it from Hightex, not an Alibaba/hong kong/Singapore outlet, as machines that fail quality control will end up with these people. Quote
