CloudyCreek Report post Posted January 8, 2019 Hey everyone. So I recently became an owner of a Singer 51W54 post bed. Problem is I’m having difficulty finding what needle system it uses and the appropriate leather point needles. No needles came with the machine. Any info would be great! Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dikman Report post Posted January 8, 2019 I've got slightly conflicting information for you. My 51W59 manual says system 128x4 but a comprehensive list of machines/needles I have says 128x6 (the listing says the 51W53 - 59 use the same needles). Mine was re-adjusted to use 135x5, which are pretty common. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CowboyBob Report post Posted January 8, 2019 (edited) They are the same length but the 128x6 is a leather point & the 16x231 is a round point. Edited January 8, 2019 by CowboyBob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would love to get some LR points in #18 and #20 that would work with the 51W54. I don’t need a large quantity. Not sure if you have a minimum. Let me know!
