Joe, From what I see, it's all metal. It is not a gear driven machine. Here is a link to the Singer 226 video that someone made recently. She noticed my posting of my 224 and sent me the link to her video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5GsfYcYqxc
There is also a link to photos of her machine.

My machine came in treadle. Her model has a light and switch on side for pressure bar, while mine doesn't. I have the earlier model. Here are two photos of mine, 224.
