cardinal leather Posted January 7, 2019 Author Report Posted January 7, 2019 I couldn't figure out why the spring on the take up lever snapped. After inspecting it again I found that the last time I threaded it I missed the upper thread guide some how and managed to thread it into the take up arm direct from the tensioner. This action must have put enough pressure on the lever to pull it to the side and cause fatiguing to the spring. When the thread is going in straight there is no problem, but there is a slight side play to the take up arm on the pin to allow it to move freely. The moral of this story is to use all of the thread the machine correctly. Quote
Members Constabulary Posted January 7, 2019 Members Report Posted January 7, 2019 (edited) last pictures it tooooo small - not sure but seems the spring for the thread lever is missing (+ maybe the small stud and thumb nut?) - not sure.... See attached picture if you have problems with imgae sizes check out "Image Resizer 3.1.1 for Windows" - if you have a Windows system - I´m using this for years. https://filehippo.com/de/download_image_resizer_for_windows/ EDIT: sorry - have not read your 1st post Not sure where you looked but these springs are rather cheap: https://www.college-sewing.co.uk/store/82219-CHECK-LEVER-SPRING-SINGER-29K Edited January 7, 2019 by Constabulary Quote ~ Keep "OLD CAST IRON" alive - it´s worth it ~ Machines in use: - Singer 111G156 - Singer 307G2 - Singer 29K71 - Singer 212G141 - Singer 45D91 - Singer 132K6 - Singer 108W20 - Singer 51WSV2 - Singer 143W2

Members billcurley Posted November 25, 2021 Members Report Posted November 25, 2021 Any suggestion as to what to use in the tallow pot? And where to purchase. I just bought this same machine and am trying to get it all set up and functioning as well as possible. Thanks Quote
