I live on a small horse ranch with a gravel road about 1/2 mile long to get to the automatic gate to where our driveway starts! We have to make a dump haul anyway about once a year just to clean up!
Ok, Melinda, Dan, and Candace, I tried the bobbin case for the 319w in the 306w - no go! Geeze, why would Singer do that? They both take the weird little 206x13 needles, and the weird 'L' bobbins - so why aren't the bobbin cases interchangeable? I am going to visit Sew Classic and see if I can tell the difference!

remember you might have a needle bar/timing issue as well. depends on how it is a no go.... just wont fit or the needle hitting.
Cathy, do you have one I could buy? I don't trust trying to buy one from anyone else in case it is advertised wrong! Looking at Sew Classic - it appears the 306w uses the open bobbin cases and the 306k the closed bobbin cases? Makes no sense to me. Nancy |

strip off all the hardware before you haul it to the dump.

you may still have a problem, putting in the correct needle will not retime it and correct the needle bar height if it was previously "adjusted"

Nancy per the Vintage Singer Group The 306K and the 306W do not always use the same bobbin case. The 306W use
bobbin case # 105032 -- the open front one. The 306K and the 319 use #173058, the closed front bobbin case. Though, some machines can interchange...Singer started switching out the hook assemblies of the models some time during manufacturing. Did you get a 306K or W? |

Yes, I know Dan, but until I can try to sew with the machine how would I know? The machine seems to run fine with no thread. I will just have to wait until I get the correct bobbin case and see what happens. I am concerned, though, like I said there is a receipt from a Singer repair shop for "re-timing" the machine in 1976. There were lots of packages of needles with the machine - none of them the right ones for this machine. If it has been re-timed to use 15x1's wouldn't that be ok?

Linda, I hope you didn't really buy class 15 bobbins for your FW and 301? Class 15 bobbins fit the class 15 machines, the 15 clones, and a few other machines. They won't work in a FW nor a 301. The FW and the 301 use a special bobbin made just for those machines!

Well, maybe I didn't buy Class 15 bobbins. This is what I bought from Sew-Classics:
