Thanks everyone for your help
Maybe a much easier idea????

My 66 1914 was a high shank back clamp too. We then bought a low shank 66 for parts and DH switched the foot holding posts,the one for the foot. It took about 10 minutes. Both the parts machine and the treadle work.

You take the chrome side plate off, unscrew the foot tension screw. Half way, there is a small screw to loosen. Keep track of your parts and order and you should be able to rebuild both machines with reversed feed shafts.

Good luck!

1914 Singer 66 was converted to low shank.

I've tried to go to this site a few different times to get a free download of the manual for both her machine and my FWs and haven't gotten it to work. What am I doing wrong? Is there a secret to getting the free download? Thanks

Billy,
Saw your tute on cleaning the vintage machines tonight and saw where you soak parts in kerosene. How long in the kerosene? Is that to dissolve old gunk build-up?
Someone else also mentioned salt and vinegar? What does that do?

I have (I think) an 66 treadle red eye made 1921-1923 in Elizabethport. Do you know where that is ? Appears to have the presser foot screw in the back rather than side - and is slightly rusted on hand wheel and few other areas. Do I still start with taking it apart and cleaning insides as very first step?

This site is a whole new exciting world opening up for me. I'm hooked already, so thanks for all the great info!!
Cindy

I have a 128k hand crank and have manuels for it and the 28k. If you are still having trouble getting them from the site I will e-mail them to you.

Nothing seems to work. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. I'm getting frustrated!!!
