ADLER 105 REBUILD HELP!

[TheMackinaw]

I am working with 24oz 100% cotton canvas. Making heavy canvas and leather bags. Old fashioned style.

I make belts also, working up to wallets.

Thanks for your help guys.

Hi folks. I bought an Adler 105-64 yesterday; it had been in storage for years.  The bobbin pops right out after a few stitches.I thought it might have to do with the bobbin case and change it but the same thing occurred, this time breaking the needle! I suspect this may  have something to do with the timing. Does anyone have advice/suggestions for me, please? Also, will a speed reducer work on this machine? I make mainly belts and need slower speeds than what the motor currently offers.

I have the parts list and the operations manual for the 105-64.  Only in hard copy though.

probably an out of time issue but an easy fix. look on youtube you'll find lots of videos.  

You might not need a speed reducer for belts if you practice a little.  I still have machines without a speed reducer and I learned long ago how to feather the clutch to get slower speeds. A speed reducer will work just fine.  If you buy a box type it will be easier to replace without changing much....

probably the small curved leaf spring which holds the bobbin housing in the shuttle frame is worn or the screw that holds the spring in place is loose. Remove the shuttle hook from the machine and swing the bobbin housing aside and the check the spring and screw.

Just a guess w/o having seen pictures.

Te sugiero que cambies la polea por una más pequeña así reduce la velocidad y te acostumbres al embrague del motor alinea bien el garfio con el tiempo y altura de la aguja y ve mirando la tensión del hilo

This translates in to English as the following:

I suggest you change the pulley for a smaller one so slow down and get used to the engine clutch align the grapple well over time

not sure if you read the latest comments above but maybe showing a video of when / in what situation the bobbin pops out will be helpful. For me it is hard to imagine why and when a bobbin pops out of an oscillating shuttle hook.
