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.

Those belts aren't made anymore.

As a start, if you have a 201, model 15, 66 or 99 you should check out thetfsr (tools for self reliance) website for their repair manual series.

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.
