Hi K;First thing, assuming the machine has its original plate on it a machine of that SN should not have that bobbin holder. The appearance underneath the machine does indicate an earlier machine.

Late 8 early 9 bobbin and case. ?Does this mean I can use #9 bobbins? The nice bobbin in the pictures was in a drawer, the one in the machine when I got it was actually broken so I tossed it out. ?I

The presser bar is not the problem. The presser bar is not meant to adjust left or right. The regulator is designed to be a thumb screw type adjustment and a oil cup. The other ones are just oil cups

I added a photo album of my #8. It does have a bobbin case. ?The bobbin fits perfectly, and the whole assembly is rattling around. ?I adjusted the screw on the retainer, and I will have to keep

Anthony; Good advice there. I don't know why I didn't catch that but you're right, the shank of the needle should not be entering the needle hole in the foot, it should stop above it. I will have to

Before you adjust the arm of the machine or try to straighten the neede bar, you might try adjusting the needle bar up slightly. Miller helped me fix a No9 that had its needle bar set to low. This was

Hi K; Unfortunately we do not have any way of positively dating W&W machines by SN. As best I can determine the #8 model was introduced in 1878. It continued in production until introduction of the #9

I learned the "Will Not Sew" the first day! ?The bobbin was in a drawer, and of course I put it in backwards. ?I'm using the ISMACS online manual until I can get an original. ?I'm not sure when

Welcome K; I love my W&W #8 machine. Well, actually I love all my W&W's but the #8 is sorta special. It was a vast improvement over the older curved needle machines, though they can be enjoyable also.

Hello!? Thanks for letting me join your group! I'm K and I recently got a # 8 treadle. ?It is my oldest machine and my only pre-1900 so far. ?I have a bunch of machines. ?My favorites are the

Thanks Miller..it really is amazing as the machine was completely? frozen when we got it. ? My husband is going to make a top to fit it. (And fit it to some irons we have, not sure what brand they

Miller,Again thank you so much for your help and knowledge. Never even thought about stretching the belt prior to attaching it. Live and learn, ?I guess.?Have a great rest of your day?Brenda Sent

Hi Brenda; Everything I have seen on belts is "They should be just tight enough to run the machine without slipping". When I install a new leather belt my general practise is to first lay one end on

How tight should the belt be then? Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android On Wed, Aug 9, 2017 at 1:30 PM, Miller Fulks<mmf38@...> wrote: Hi Brenda; I suppose you have noticed you have two

Hi Brenda; I suppose you have noticed you have two grooves on both the treadle's bandwheel & the machine's handwheel. The belt should run in the larger groove on one wheel & the smaller groove on the

Thanks so much, Miller. The dimensions help out so, so much. You said to throw the belt off when winding, that makes sense.?Thank you again?Brenda? Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android On Wed, Aug

Hi Brenda; I measured 4 bobbins & the winder spindle for my #8. The bobbins were consistent with a hole diameter through the hub of .232". The part of the spindle the bobbin fits on for winding is

I have a #8 treadle. The bobbin winder is missing and in the process of fabricating a new one. My question is, does the spindle spin freely and how snug shold the bobbin be on the spindle? It's

Mary; That old #8 is cleaning up right nice & appears to be making a good stitch, well done. Miller/TN

I uploaded a couple short videos of this machine sewing and new pictures of it cleaned. https://www.flickr.com/photos/mmaryts/sets/72157683817458804 Sent from my iPad? Mary
