Ferdco juki 2000

Thanks for the number and looks like they have the parts.   Thanks so much.   

One more question.... It seems that the ferdco 2000 new comes with no feed dogs.   Having just run a old Adler that was setup with feed dogs do most of you folks not run with feed dogs.  Seems like you might miss a hole on a back stitch with out the compound feed.    Any help would be great.

I run both of mine with feed dogs, dont see a reason why you wouldnt? I would just get one and put it in yourself, its super easy.

HI there

Made the decision to buy the ferdco 2000.   The deal was good for my budget.   I got it home and setup for sewing and this is working great.   The one issue that I cannot seem to adjust is the presser feet.  When the needle is down I cannot pick up the pressor feet to turn my work.  If the needle is up no problem.... I have adjusted the banana bolt and its all the way in the up position but still the pressor feet only lift about 3/8 of a inch while needle is down and not enough to move my work.   If I take off the outside side cover and look into the side the presser feet will function normal.  When I put the cover on it does not work.   Seems like there is a interference from the cover.    Nothing in the manual about why this would be happening.  

Maybe this is how these machine are made.   The old Adler I ran did not have issues with this.

Any help would be great.

Thanks

It looks like nobody has yet told you that Ferdco is long out of business. There is a sewing machine dealer in Chicago that bought some of their remaining stock. But, you probably won't find any authentic, official support for these machines. They modified the mechanisms on various Bull models and some parts were custom made by Ferdco.
