My New Home Treadle Head
Here is the Treadle head I started to work on 2 1/2 years ago and stopped when I leaned into the grinding stone! So I dug her out again, not sure what to do with her. "Penny" the decals are very nice, the paint is crinkled but I am going to clean her up... In my searching, I am needing a front cover for the bobbin part, anyone have one ?

You leaned into the grinding stone? OUCH!!
I usually walk away when I see a machine with parts missing that I don't think I'll be able to find. I wish I had your courage..... I'd probably have more machines.

I just found a similar machine, but with a base with holes for treadle belt, and a swing away New Home Gray Hound motor. Unfortunately it has (I think) bobbins that are too short. Too bad on that missing plate, that's where the serial number is on mine. Good luck.[ATTACH=CONFIG]431438[/ATTACH]
