Members Leatherphase Posted September 29, 2020 Members Report Posted September 29, 2020 (edited) Well I figured my 78-3 is a little out of time, but I never could get the shuttle driver to budge so I decided to remove it and lube it a bit. The screws that hold it to the rocker shaft were already missing So it should have been simple to remove, but after a little heavy persuasion, the shuttle driver came apart. Seemed liked it was glued together, the replacement looks like Just a solid piece so that should prevent that from happening again, anyways my question would be what kind of singer friendly lubricant could I put on the shaft/shuttle driver so could still adjust to time it and is the original simanco shuttle driver salvagable?

CowboyBob Posted October 1, 2020 Report Posted October 1, 2020 This happens from not being moved for a long time.Oil oil dries up & can make things like this stick together.I doubt if you'll have problems adjusting it again,I would oil the shaft either it will just make it slip out of time easier.
