Thanks Billy. I still haven't decided which machine will get the honor of becoming a handcrank. I think it will be the 99 that my dental hygienist gave me (it belonged to her grandmother). I haven't been able to use it because the wires are in awful shape.

Very nice!!! Now I just need to get the treadle that was promised to me! Don't know how old or anything about it. Hopefully I will get it by Fall.

Mine came in the mail, today!! Thank you, Billy!! I think I will convert one of my 99's. The wiring is bad on both of them. Is it a hard job to convert it? The directions on Treadle On seem very confusing!!

It is very simple..........

Take the motor off of the machine and set it to the side. Save the bolt you will need it, if you dont have one then there will be on in the kit. Then you remove the handwheel by taking the screw out of the clutch release knob and unscrewing it completely. Take the washer off and make sure you remember how it is sitting on the machine this is important. Then slide the handwheel off of the machine and oil the shaft then replace with the new handwheel. Put the washer back then screw the knob back on and return the set screw in its place. Bolt the hand crank on and make sure it is good and tight and your ready to go!!
