Members pedalpower Posted February 9, 2020 Members Report Posted February 9, 2020 I recently purchased this Singer 29-4 and I'm having some problems. The pressor foot will not raise up as it steps forward. It seems that there is a problem with the piece next to the arrow. From what I can tell it should be attached to the piece above it but I'm not sure how. Maybe somethings broken?? Any help would be appreciated. Quote
Members Constabulary Posted February 9, 2020 Members Report Posted February 9, 2020 please show a picture of the backside of your machine - I have an assumption BTW - the pin that attaches the needle bar seem to be kind of "oddly" modified. A few more pictures of your machine may be helpful.

Members chrisash Posted February 9, 2020 Members Report Posted February 9, 2020 Have you tried moving the stitch length adjuster to a different position, Quote Mi omputer is ot ood at speeling , it's not me
Members SARK9 Posted February 9, 2020 Members Report Posted February 9, 2020 It could be just the picture, but every moving part I see in that shot looks dirty and dry. It could be holding out for a cleaning and re-oiling. -DC Quote Machines: Juki LU-563, Consew 206-RB5, Singer 20U33, Pfaff 481, Mitsubishi CU-865-22, Consew 29B, Rebadged Juki LU-562, Mitsubishi LS2-180, Seiko SK-6, Juki LG-158-1
Moderator Wizcrafts Posted February 9, 2020 Moderator Report Posted February 9, 2020 Check the back of the head for a sliding block with a thumbscrew adjuster that rides along the front end of the long leaf pressure spring. That block gets pushed up my a lever as you operate the machine. If the block isn't at or near the spot where the spring is cut down from wide to narrow, it can't lift the foot.

Members pedalpower Posted February 10, 2020 Author Members Report Posted February 10, 2020 (edited) Thanks for everyone's response. I've moved the stitch length adjuster and sliding block with the thumbscrew. Neither one made any difference. I do plan to clean and oil it. I'm trying to upload more pictures but continue to get a message stating that I'm exceeding the limit. Edited February 10, 2020 by pedalpower Quote
Members jimi Posted February 10, 2020 Members Report Posted February 10, 2020 (edited) Hi There, The part you pointed to in the picture that is broken is the problem, that is why your foot is not lifting. You will need to find another part the same. Oh and that leather disk on the tension disks goes underneath to raise the disks up a little so when it is down the disks are flat and not tilted.

Members Superduty Posted February 11, 2020 Members Report Posted February 11, 2020 (edited) Hi; I'm new to this forum, and I'm seeking help with a similar problem with a 29K60 that was given to me. The walking foot moves forward and aft but does not raise up between stitches. I've replaced the cutlet that Pedalpower's arrow is pointing at, the feeding foot bar is secured to it, I've adjusted the the foot tension up and down multiple times to no avail, removed the bell crank and feeding motion ring and checked them for sloppyness (there dosen't seem be any at all), and yet I can't get the foot to raise up and walk.I will say that the bell crank is not at a 90 degree angle, is it supposed to be, could that be part of my problem? Can anyone help me with something I might be missing. Thank you in advance Edited February 11, 2020 by Superduty forgotten info Quote
