Huskies aren't very large dogs, but very enduring. If your 27-20 has a size comparison in the world of horses it would be like this Belgian work horse ;- )

[ATTACH=CONFIG]582325[/ATTACH] One aggressive set of feed dogs. Hmm wonder where the presser foot spring is? Part of the challenge.

The seller didn't offer to carry it out to my car. I planned my route through my house and made sure the area was ready for it before I borught it in the house. I need to weigh it and take a picture with it beside a featherweight or a toy 20. Bkay was right, I have no need, but I couldn't resist the urge.

I love the 5 oil holes above the front plate. I waited to oil it until I got it placed. Didn't want to try to carry it and have my fingers slip in a drop of oil.

Leon contact http://www.tolindsewmach.com/ There's a guy there (Bob Kovar? I think) who's an industrial guru. If he can't help you no one can.

You'll most likely find Mike easier on the VSS forum.

The slighly longer feed dogs and presser foot are fantastic for flat felled seams on duck and denim. I don't think they are too agressive in real life, just a bit more stable handling of heavier fabrics and over bumps. I guess you have to unscrew the presser adjustment screw to get to the spring parts.

The first time as saw the large horse breeds in real life it made an impression, what a suprise, I think it startled me a bit lol

Janey if you are here you can tell your John that his bracket won't fit this monster.

That was my first thought when I saw that you picked this up. I've had no desire for an industrial machine, so John just worked with the machines I had.

It almost looks like it might fit with the right base board, but very tight quarters for the nose and hand wheel. What is the size of the bed on it? John will probably look at your post later today.

Janey - Neat people never make the exciting discoveries I do.
