LOL, thanks for the chuckle. No, I don't think I need any help. Having grown up around mechanics and truck drivers, let's just say I have no 'feminine sensibilities'. In my family cussing comes as natural as breathing. And yes I'm still cussing at this machine.

Oh, so sorry Cari. I too can help you with some bad words, maybe we could make up a nasty plastic gear song! I so hesitate to buy a machine that I don't know about the gears for fear of finding what you did. What a beautiful machine to have sitting. I wonder if a machinists shop could make one for you?

I had a grandfather whose every other word was a cuss word! I try to avoid cussing -- I'm not always successful! LOL
I am really sorry about the machine! That's really too bad! Hopefully, a solution can be found.

Cari, Having spent 14 years in the Army - some of them working in the military confinement arena, I know plenty of those words. Have said some on occasion when working on a sewing machine too!!!

Glad you got a chuckle out of the original post.

I sometimes make up new cuss words when working on machines.
I grew up getting in trouble for bad words but DH was a "trucker" when I met him... full on stereotype trucker too. ;)

As long as there's clearance around the hub on the side showing in the picture I should be able to turn a collar to put on the gear to help keep it together. Not as good as a total replacement but it should buy some time before it fails completely.

And even more bad words. Pic shows my last check before putting the Princess back together. She still

sews a great stitch but I'm afraid to keep using her now.

I'd try super glue but I don't think I could get all the grease out so the glue would stick.

Cari is it a part that you could have made? I was able to get a part made for my vintage Elna serger off a 3D printer. They are getting much more popular. Some companies let you choose the material you want used. Maybe that's an option?

I'll keep all of that in mind. I definitely won't be using Princess until I figure something out. In all other aspects this machine is like new and sews very well.

Can you post of picture of what the machine looks like?

Possibly. I hope so. But it's going to have to wait. I'm not doing any major repairs or parts pulling though until my shop gets built. I just have no room to work in the house any more.
