Lots of Kenmore manuals and info there, but their index page of partial model numbers makes it all but impossible to find what you want.

I'll book mark it for reference but since they didn't include the source numbers 158-, and the complete model number 17560 it's just too much work to dig through each .pdf to see what it's really for.

The first two or three numbers are the source code, and the model number is the entire string of number after the - or . . If you drop some of the numbers you might get the base model, but not your machine.
Necessary or no, I always use the entire number.

As far as dating Kenmore machines I have found a list that has the model numbers and the years that number was made ........... BUT I CAN'T FIND IT ..... ARRRGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Joe, is this it? http://www.searsarchives.com/history.../sewing_id.pdf ... If not, it might help someone else out there. According to this her machine was made in 71, 72 or 78.

I so need to take some pictures. The DGKs came over and we made mud pies and cleaned out a 128 and a Kenmore. I did not get pictures of the Kenmore. I did get pics of mudpies...

We do have to have priorities... Don't you love Wilbur's outfit - he picks his own clothes...

Miriam, I hope someday I am half of the grandma that you are to those adorable kids. I've never actually seen a mud pie!!! I've heard of them. Yes, Wilbur shows great sense of color and design! Thanks for the smiles. :):):)

Hi, I bought a 626 new many years ago and it does have plastic gears which have needed to be replaced several times. It was not a difficult job to do but finding the gear may be harder. Good luck.
