Lash/Slop in Feed Dog assembly

[nylonRigging]

What can anyone say on the amount of Lash/slop in the 441 Feed Dog assembly ?

Is there a proper way to remove with adjustment ?

....thanks

Loosen  2-screws #19 & move part#20 to the right.

So the loose play is just nature of the beast ? . I knew the steel slide-clip is adjustable and slides back and pulls it to the right and hold inward .

But I was just concerned that it was excessive amount of movement ?

Ok,you could loosen the screws on collar#26 & push the pin over by pushing on #18,sometimes there's play there.Once in  a while screw#25 is loose letting to bushing move.

a couple days back I did loosen those two keeper hex heads on that #26 holding collar, and I took a little play out .
' But ' I did not push direct pressure from the #18 where that C-clip holds . I will do that latter tonight and see if I can get a little more slop removed .

I did that last evening loosen collar and then push and re-tight .
But also I finally noticed that the slide keeper tab #20 was not actually going far enough sliding Right . I had to get out the one of smaller fine round File's and give several strokes to both screw holes on the L-side . and that allowed the holding tab to slide more Left, and take out more of the horizontal slop and that helped a bunch .

Glad to know you got it fixed.
