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.

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.

Have you tried moving the stitch length adjuster to a different position,

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.

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.

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.

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.IMG_1877.jpeg.247baaf296fe6ef1ae552fae3bebe0db.jpeg

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.

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
