If you are referring to the beehive spring, that part number would be 125314. A lot of places to buy either part, but many will not list 191 as model that uses those numbers, but they are the numbers in the parts list. Janey - Neat people never make the exciting discoveries I do. |
Once again, no 100% guarantee but I think the tension assembly on the 191 is the same as on the 201 and 221 / 222...

Thanks in advance. |
Welcome Gabrielfigueroa. Lianys has not been on since April of 2018. But my guess is that the manual she has can be found at https://www.manualslib.com/manual/52...oduct-191D%20- However, it appears to be an industrial machine rather than a domestic machine, like the opening poster's. Is yours an industrial machine?

This sounds so exciting! If that case it the original that in itself is a find. What makes me think it is is the mount for the pedal. I don't usually see that on replacement cases.

Oil Change

Oil change on a 191J
Congratulations on your upcoming purchase of 191J. That thing is a tank. It’s a wonderful machine and you’ll enjoy using it tremendously in my opinion. I own a 201 (1941) and 191J (late 50s). The 191J was my mother’s machine and I’m the second owner, but I have no clue as to the provenance of the 201 since it was purchased last year through FB Marketplace.
I’ve never “changed the oil” on any of my machines. I add sewing machine oil to the bobbin case every time I plan to sew for more than an hour, and I have the machine serviced once a year or so. If you consult the booklet your machine will come with, there should be a drawing with instructions informing you where you should add the sewing machine oil. Good luck with your new purchase. |
Thank you
Thanks a lot for the help. i’m quite new and wanted to create jeans. i’m hoping this can do some work.

There is a sticker underneath that indicates it was made in Canada, and I have confirmed that the 191J's were Canadian. It is very heavy, cast iron, came with what I think is the zigzag attachment and a few inserts to make different patterns. I do have the original manual. The cover for the electric cord, where it plugs into the machine, is broken but other than that it looks pretty good. I'm not sure whether this is an original case - doesn't look like it to me. I haven't done any cleanup yet. Anybody have any information on the 191's?
