dtklunk,

Early Pfaff 335's had only a 4 mm stitch length max.  I think yours is 6mm because of the N in the model plate.  Send us a pic of the reverse lever and the plate behind it.  H3 so 11mm lift of foot, B   means a B class which is for lighter material, S for  cloth.  No M which is safety clutch, no P for 4 motion drop feed.  She is dirty. I would go thru and clean it up, check for worn parts and even repaint it..  But that's me.

any suggestions on what to clean it up with?  Whats the max i can expect this machine to handle (thread/needle and veggie thickness).  The local sewing shop put a SV-71 servo motor under it since the earlier pic because the original motor was 3 phase. Will the speed reducer help the machine punch through easier?

Damn.  It is an early Pfaff 335 and  has only a 4 mm stitch length max.  That means the 6mm stitch length on the model plate number should read 6n for a 6mm max. stitch length.  I was wrong.  This old girl is going to need a massive clean on to get it back to good sewing status.   Be prepared to do that.
