Ken Nelson Report post Posted October 21, 2019 I am looking at a Ferdco 404 sewing machine. It looks a lot like the old ferdinand 900B from the pictures. Does anyone have any info on them. Any idea what they were built up from? Thank you Ken Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JJN Report post Posted October 21, 2019 (edited) Here is an image I found online. Looks like a needle feed. Maybe built from an Adler design? https://www.ebay.com/itm/HEAVY-DUTY-20-INCH-CYLINDER-ARM-FERDCO-SEWING-MACHINE-TABLE-AND-MOTOR-/113852853338?nma=true&si=C8lpkGpngoWTkfvYxRIMiFoBWjo%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 Edited October 21, 2019 by JJN Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JJN Report post Posted October 21, 2019 (edited) @shoepatcher, good eye. Here it is called the The Bull. Kind of pricey at $8,850. http://industrialsewingmachineman.com/machines/mach.asp?dir=sewmach&brand=Consew&Model=The+Bull&ProductType=Industrial+Straight+Stitch+Machines Edited October 21, 2019 by JJN Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ken Nelson Report post Posted October 25, 2019 I have owned a couple of Ferdinand 900B Bulls in the past. Good machines. This one does not seem to have the ferdinand lift on the back side. I hope it is like the bull. I bought it as the price was right and the guy guarantees it to sew so here I go. If it is good a bargain, if not I have a headache starting. The last "Bull" I had, had a consew badge but it was actually built by Seiko. Parts took a long time to get but a wonderful machine when I got it up and running.
