That IS an all metal drive machine. Really really. and the 15-91 is the little brother of the 201 and like it's sibling will sew whatever you are cruel enough to feed under the presser foot. (I have had both models sew leather without batting an eye)

Almost all metal. That gear is a fiber gear. 15-91 and 201-2 both.[ATTACH=CONFIG]456415[/ATTACH]

They are usually located between the drive shaft and other gears, in the event of stoppage of the gears to prevent the drive shaft or motor getting toasted
