Members Deeio Posted November 19, 2021 Author Members Report Posted November 19, 2021 hi constabulary, thanks for your opinion. the needle has the scarf to the right . i will see if i will be able to adjust the height of the needle bar. is that blade spring-thingy part of every singer 45k? even without jumpfoot? the issue with the shuttle is just that i dont know what machine i own and buying one new chinashuttle or whatever is its origin, is pure chance has somebody tried to let the thead run through a piece of a candle, to reduce friction? the needles like to get stuck, even without thread.

Members Constabulary Posted November 19, 2021 Members Report Posted November 19, 2021 To be honest I do not think the shuttle is the problem. Your shuttle really looks good. The machine seems to be down graded for what ever reason. I think the machine is (or was) a 45K58. Please post a picture from the left side. I think parts are missing.

Members Constabulary Posted November 19, 2021 Members Report Posted November 19, 2021 (edited) Huh - to be honest I haven´t seen this before - looks different to what I have seen so far. I do not think it is a 45K58. Maybe JIMI knows more - he is the 45k whisperer Edited November 19, 2021 by Constabulary Quote ~ Keep "OLD CAST IRON" alive - it´s worth it ~ Machines in use: - Singer 111G156 - Singer 307G2 - Singer 29K71 - Singer 212G141 - Singer 45D91 - Singer 132K6 - Singer 108W20 - Singer 51WSV2 - Singer 143W2

Members jimi Posted November 19, 2021 Members Report Posted November 19, 2021 Hahaha! whisperer.... This is the one i think your machine was? On the treadle you are missing the big heavy mass wheel weight. Quote
Members Deeio Posted November 20, 2021 Author Members Report Posted November 20, 2021 ....the missing rotating mass would explain why it runs so unwillingly. i saw the picture of the catalogue speaking of the -80subclass, i think it was availble on one of your older posts, thanks nevertheless! does anybody know how much play this shuttle usually have, or is allowed to have in order to work properly?

Members jimi Posted November 26, 2021 Members Report Posted November 26, 2021 (edited) Sorry Deeio, i did not see your post....yes it should have some play to let the thread pass, from the shuttle hook to the driver. I think this was the reason they had 2 types of shuttle....one for thinner thread and one for thicker. Not 100% sure as it does not state this anywhere but if you look at the corner tips of the shuttles i think i can see a slight difference which would allow for thicker thread to pass. The shuttle in your picture was used with the 45k52 machine and the#91173 driver. Edited November 26, 2021 by jimi Quote
