Yes that will need replacing, and as you can see that is not helping with the feeding. I would get the new foot also and see if these two solve your problems before changing your feed motion lever. Normally when the feed motion is worn the ring where it revolves in is usually worn also.
Members Constabulary Posted February 22, 2020 Members Report Posted February 22, 2020 (edited) Yes, I would replace all the parts you mentioned + the gib on the stitch length adjuster (if it is not included in the $19.98). As Jimi said feed motion ring could be worn too but it´s hard to tell. If you decide to order the feed motion ring make sure the roller #1816 is included or order it separately!!! If it was my machine I would the pace the thread take up lever too just for optical reasons. The pin on the needle bar is tapered and goes out from back to front. Usually one or two "gentle" hammer strikes will drive it out but push your hand against the arm tip when you swing the hammer.

Members newfieboy Posted April 12, 2020 Members Report Posted April 12, 2020 Hello, So I purchased motion bell crank lever, stitch regulator assembly, a new feeder foot along with some other parts (take up lever, lifter, bobbon wheel, ect) and it seems as if the stitch length got worse. The only thing I could change is the feed motion ring slide bar but it doesn't look to be worn all that much. I followed the instructions of a fellow sewer on here for stripping the head down to which I gave a good cleaning and re oiled. Everything looks to be in good shape with little to no wear other than the motion bell crank lever. I brazed the old motion bell lever to see if it would fix some of the stitch length problem i've been having before I ordered the parts and invested any more money and time and it seemed to increase the stitch length from 7-8 SPI to 6~SPI so I went ahead and ordered the parts but when they arrived and I reassembled it seems worse than before? The presser foot seems to haul the leather in a circle which did not happen before. Ive checked the gib and stitch regulator to make sure it was facing the right directions to no avail. The only way to receive any extra stitch length is to move the lifting lever shaft to the H position to where I get a little bit of distance but no where 5SPI. I have searched all over the web for tips to remedy this problem but im at a brick wall. ANY and ALL info would help! Thanks to all that helped so far!
