An old neighbor gave this to me. Any information would be appriciated. Also I have no attachments or the book for it, only the foot that is on it. Any ideas where I can get them?
Billy, my husband looked at the machine and he said the spring that holds the motor against the crankwheel is worn out can this be fixed. He is saying that it would cost more to have it fixed than what its worth.
If what you are talking about is the friction wheel that sits against the HW, yes you can get new friction wheels. I had to get a new one for my New Home. You get the whole little friction thingy, not just the tire. It is no big deal to take the old one off the motor and put on a new one - that is the way the motor turns the wheel on those really old friction drive pulley system motors.
