Members Bulldogger Posted July 7, 2019 Author Members Report Posted July 7, 2019 One last issue, the dreaded “mystery leftover” part... It doesn’t appear in any of the photos I took prior to cleaning and calibrating the machine. Part number stamped on it is 176332 Any ideas? Thanks again Bulldogger Quote

Members Bulldogger Posted July 8, 2019 Author Members Report Posted July 8, 2019 Super! Thanks mikesc, it does look like part of the tensioning and take up assembly. Bulldogger Quote

Is this what happens? I know question may sound stupid but you never know...

Members Bulldogger Posted July 8, 2019 Author Members Report Posted July 8, 2019 Constabulary, that is what was happening. It was very odd. It seems ok now that I moved the feeding eccentric for the vibrating presser foot about 100 degrees on its shaft. I will connect the motor this week and test the stitching abilities. I incorrectly noted my Singer model, it is a 591D200A. Bulldogger Quote

No timing marks underneath a 1245. Can you upload a quick video of the machine being turned by hand so we can see the feet and feed dog in action? glenn Quote Industrial sewing and cutting, parts sales and service, family owned since 1977, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania USA, 215/922.6900 info@keysew.com www.keysew.com
Members Bulldogger Posted July 8, 2019 Author Members Report Posted July 8, 2019 Thank-you Gregg. That calibration step was challenging, as the feed dog never wanted to sit still as indicated. Once I got the vibrating foot set correctly, the step you show was easier to get right. Here is the step that I had very miscalibrated. The eccentric, number 2 on the figure, was spun on its shaft and very out of cal. Bulldogger Quote
Members Gchenoweth Posted June 13, 2021 Members Report Posted June 13, 2021 I just acquired a Pfaff 1245 that is probably 50 years old and I am having the same problem with the machine going backwards with the reverse lever down and forward with it up. Can someone help me understand what I need to do to fix this. I could not follow the thread to understand where the problem is. Thanks, Hill Country Gal Quote
