Members Constabulary Posted April 7, 2018 Members Report Posted April 7, 2018 (edited) The notch in the gib has to point up and the notch of the squared pice has to point down to give enough space for the foot bar movement. I just posted a 29K71 manual in another thread, hope I can link it here http://leatherworker.net/forum/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=142508 your machine is pretty much the same. But yours has a different (drop out) gear box, thread regulator and a few other minor differences but the manual should be very helpful for your 29K51 too. The parts diagrams are helpful if you want to disassemble the head for cleaning.

Members shoepatcher Posted April 8, 2018 Members Report Posted April 8, 2018 I believe the wing nut on the back that regulates the height of the foot walk is on high. Move it to the lowest walk position which is at the other end of the 5 notch mark and see if it drops the foot anymore. glenn Quote
