well, took my youngest daughter off to college yesterday. So I thought today I would do something for me. Well, somehow I ended up with a treadle in the back of my car. So wanted to share with you guys and see if I got a good deal. I know it is going to need some work, but since all the kids have left the nest, I have loads of time. :-) Oh and I only paid $65.

I agree nice machine and will be pretty all cleaned up. I like the cabinet never saw one with the legs like that. But for 65.00 can't beat it with a pepperment stick. :thumbup:

I think you did wonderful on the deal, and its a late style treadle so I am guessing some where in the early 30's maybe. I cant remember when they stopped using the spoked wheel for the 66.

Abby,
Are you using new bobbins? I was having problems with the bobbins I bought at Joann's, some of the bobbins were
not made quite right. I found that original vintage bobbins seemed to work just fine in my Singer 201k treadle.

The belt will stretch after you put it on and you will have to adjust it several times during the course of use after you put it on.
The bobbin sounds like the thread is not seating in the bobbin case tension spring try to reinstall the bobbin and route the thread correctly and you should be good.
Billy
Thanks Billy
I dont know what the issue was with the belt. I put the new treadle head on the base (same belt) and it works fine.
The bobbin is inserted and drawn through right. It just gets stuck not always but enough to make it a pain.
I will probably have to dissect it someday and figure it out.
Maybe I will take a pic and diagram it to show you. I am horrible at explaining

But rule of thumb is metal bobbins in vintage older machine and the plastic in the newer machines.
