Northmount Posted November 4, 2018 Report Posted November 4, 2018 The clacking noise in the first part of the video is not bearing noise. It appears to be in time with the needle. It sounds like the needle is clashing/striking the hook or something in the hook area. It could be a bit of looseness and a bent needle. i would check for excessive clearance (looseness) from the needle bar through to the hook and bobbin including gear mesh. @Wizcrafts Have you any comments to help out here?

A weird sound that you hear and identify with a damaged bearing comes from the steel balls (green arrow) that move loosely between two baskets (blue arrows) mounted on the hook axis. I came to this during the last pfaff 461 repair. See the drawing. The purpose of these balls is probably to distribute the oil, which is transported from the oil pipe to the hook through the axis with the oblong hole and then transversally to both dry-secured bearings (orange arrows). Bert, Thank you Brtz for the information that I would be very useful to know if I understood correctly what you wrote me: refers to the sound is normal or refers to I have to replace the steel balls I hope you can understand that with the translator It is very difficult to understand some phrases, thank you Quote

PD: tengo entendido que su maquina es una PFAFF 461 que tiene el walking needle he tratado de coseguir esa maquina PFAFF 461 o la 561 pero parece no existir ninguna en mi pais y si quisera importarla seria excesivamente caro para mi, espero poder contactar con usted por mensajes y saber si es posible convertir la PFAFF 463 en una 461 con walking needle ya que parecen las maquinas casi identicas me despido nuevamente agradeciendole a usted y a todas las personas del foro espero podamos estar en contacto gracias.

Members Brtz Posted December 4, 2018 Members Report Posted December 4, 2018 Hello bassplayer, We've not heard from you for a long time 1. steel balls sound CLICK CLACK when you turning the handwhell are normal. I have checked this in four pfaffs recently: 461; 463; 467 x 2. All of them sound similar. In my supplementary post above I have described what those balls are for. They are a part of a centrifugal governor which opens the oil valve when the machine is running at full speed. 2. you are welcome to ask - if I only could help 3. I do not think converting 463 to 461 is a good idea IMHO regards, Brt Quote

I do not think converting 463 to 461 is a good idea IMHO regards, Brt hello Brtz hello Brtz I have not been able to connect to the forum for some occupations (I'm a musician and I've been traveling a lot). Among them, I looked up the Spanish manual of the PFAFF 463 and wrote it for a word file since the original was in a PDF file and the pages they were somewhat out of line, I will upload it if someone wants it in a word file. I was also looking for more information to try to contribute something to the community. I found some videos of a person who almost totally disarms the PFAFF 463 and puts it back together again. I will try to leave the links this I think will serve as a guide for many people or at least I hope so. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cfi0aKLPQF4 My intention is to dismantle in the future the whole machine PFAFF 463 there are parts that look rusty I hope someone can help me in how I can remove the oxide so that everything is as new I was thinking about doing a sandblasting I hope you can tell me if that would help or it would be much for the machine and then painting it completely restore that is what I wanted and also wanted to see if you could turn the PFAFF 463 into a walking needle machine like the PFAFF 461 or 561 since they look almost identical I have a friend who managed to do that in an ANKAY BED POST machine removing parts of a PFAFF BED POST and placing it on your ANKAY machine and it is perfect has not had any problems with the sewing.Goodbye I say goodbye I hope I can continue to help hoping not to abuse your trust or those of the people in the forum I leave a picture of what I usually sew and the manual in Spanish that goes to word I have Quote
