Are you talking about the treadle wheel? If you are missing the pitman, the skirt guard, and the treadle wheel, I think you just need to find an old treadle base! Then between the two of them, put together a complete treadle!

Nancy, I have the skirt guard, I need the bolts to bolt it to the irons as well as the treadle wheel. Kathie

According to this board I have the 66 and 2-that are 127.
I have gotten both 127's working, but the 66 isn't picking up the bobbin and I don't have instructions for it.

check out my tutorial on skipped stitches. There is a video on there for timing. BUT don't fool with the timing until you tried everything else. http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-147275-1.htm

Unfortunately, some of these grand ladies have not been treated as well. Note that some have been found in barns and on porches.

That is cute! I recently put hand cranks on two older Singers - I didn't realize how fast they could go! People always wonder about guiding the material (I wondered myself) but it really wasn't a problem. Was it hard putting the hand crank on a machine without a spoke wheel?
