I might but the original problem is still exists that the flange is stuck on there. I also don't know if it would hold up to the stresses from seating with the handwheel, not to mention that it is probably bent too. It could do some damage to the machine or operator if it came flying off while being used. I will look in my stash of goodies and see if I have one (don't think so) or just hold on to it for a while.

Grant,
From the picture it looks like the marks on the clutch knob are from the gear puller. Or am I seeing it wrong? My gear puller needs to be 'hooked' over the flared end of the flange then the screw is placed against the bare end of the main that is showing through the flange. Clear as mud?

Not everything works out as well as you might hope even with the best tools and equipment available to you. I was trying to remove a flange on an upper shaft and it broke. I was using a torch and a gear puller at the time this happened. Sadly, I will have to shelf this project for the time being.

Just back from 3 days at the coast...our 14th is tomorrow, but since we have to work, we went a few days early. Had a great time! 
Didn't see MUCH in the way of machines, and certainly nothing to write home about...almost bought an Elna Supermatic, but no cord, and he still wanted $50 for it...I'm too cheap for that! LOL!
Looks like everyone's been busy!!

Grant,
I supected that the knob wasn't on at the time, but the picture of the center of
the knob looked like debris or scratched. So I asked.
I think I have a similar, if not the same machine on the parts shelf. I'll check
when I get home tomorrow. I'll try pulling the flange and see what it's secret is.
The flange is yours if I have it.

Lol Cathy, you are always clear as mud. No, The gear puller was on the flange of that broke. The stop motion knob was not on there when I had the gear puller on it. If i did, there would be nothing for the screw part of the gear puller to push against. It was off of there at the time.

Happy 14th, Charlee!! I have been mostly lurking, since the world around here has needed a lot of sewing projects lately. I did go to our nearest goodwill, and they had a redeye g series, in a beat up cabinet with peeling veneer and 2 of 4 knobs replaced with glass ones, for only $250. I will check back and see if anyone buys it for that, because if they do, I have some machines to sell. LOL Only a couple that I might part with for that kind of money. One of my sewing projects was unusual, in that I had made a gown for a little girl from here to wear to tea with the princesses at a popular theme park, and was seen by another little girl from New Jersey at the park, and her mom got my info and has ordered a gown. Go figure that. Then two nieces got married, needed lots of alterations and I made veils for gifts. Two quilts for various door prizes were next. And then a baby bedding set for a custom made cradle for another niece. By the way, I looked at yours Jenn; very pretty. I still have to make the bumper pad, since the cradle was under construction when the shower was given, and I did the sheets and both a regulation and a miniature wall hanger quilt for it. Yall keep up the good work on the old machines. Oh, I got to use my 201 finally. What a smooth machine. It is a keeper.

Hope you had a great time at the coast Charlee, I used to live there when I was a kid, great for visit's but too wet for me.
I just got my Crinkle Singer 99-? from GW $,we went and picked it up 45 miles and good shopping up in WA so good deal if I can get it working. It had the thread tension spring hooked under the thread guide? You could not tell that in the online pic.. It has lots of goopy fuzz and rust on the shiney metal parts, some one must have put something on it, put it in "time out" then got rid of it. I hope I don't have a true mess here. I saw something on the motor that makes me think that it might be for the other type of wiring or that it had been changed. What are your thoughts, the pedal looks like the featherweight ones? I put what I had Liquid Wrench on it and let it set overnight, things seem a bit looser today some of what I thought was pure rust looks to be a goopy redish fuzz? Any toughts or ideas would be very helpful for me.[ATTACH=CONFIG]416215[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]416216[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]416217[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]416218[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]416220[/ATTACH]If you want I could get a better pic of the motor info.
I hope that it is okay to post these pics here also because I could not explain in words what need to say?
