You might have better luck with an answer if you posted your question as a new thread, rather than here.

Sorry, but I have no clue.

This is from the first post in this thread. However, that link doesn't work. Good news they are currently available at http://web.archive.org/web/201610160...achine_manual/

My husband just bought me a Singer JC854819. I will post a picture in the following post ( I hope). There isn't a manual with this machine. Does anyone know where I can get a copy? I will try to send a picture in this post. Wish me luck!
I took a photo with my ipad. Usually I can post the picture taken from my ipad to here but I just can't do it today.

A picture would help. It looks like JC serial numbers were made between 1948 and 1954 in Canada. A good resource for identifying the model can be found at http://www.sandman-collectibles.com/...r-machines.htm Once you have figured out the model number you can usually find a manual at
http://www.singerco.com/support/instruction-manuals

For the basic servicing of the machine, you will find a lot of good information at http://web.archive.org/web/201610160...achine_manual/
Those files don't include anything about motors.

Good luck

I have been trying since last night to send a picture. I have also followed your files but either this machine does not exist or I am imaging it sitting in my kitchen.LOL
I was wondering if I got a manual from a close machine #, would I be able to use that? What I did find out is this it could be a model 60 or 61. I have no idea what that is or by now how to find it. I have been at this so long that now I am confused and ready to take it back.

Is it a singer 66 or a 600? The serial number seems off for either one. Too new for a 66 and too old for a 600

Good machine - a 15-91 with what they call a potted motor. You can download the manual - here

Enjoy the machine. It looks like it is in good shape.
