Looking for information on this machine From all the searching I have done it seems to be from 1869 to 1920. It is a vibrating shuttle with an Eldredge-E 3 long bobbin. Most of my researching shows only a plain plate cover above the stitch regulator.From what I can find it may be a New Queen - National. The serial # is 2265238 with a small 7 above it. I am not sure how to find a manual for it. Any information anyone can contribute would be greatly appreciated.
This is the old girl.

Most motors that require grease use a pot with a wick, or a small tube with a hole in it for the grease. For this grease to get to the bearings it has to get soft and flow. That takes heat.
The Tri-Flow grease being a synthetic does not flow as it is immune to the heat generated in the motors.
>Singer Lubricant in the tube is the only lube for Singer Motors. It will get soft and flow to the bearings when the motors get warm. I use it also on other brands and types of SM motors that use the little grease pot with a wick inside.
Here is the page from Sew-Classic: http://www.shop.sew-classic.com/4-Oi...e-Tools_c6.htm
for the oils and grease. Go to the Tri-Flow grease link and read what she has there. Then down on the bottom is a link to her blog entry about what lubes to use on sewing machines. Lots of info in there.
Here is the link to the Tri-Flow home page: http://www.triflowlubricants.com/index.html
Lots of info in there too.
Hope I didn't over do my response.

I found this today and looked at it. It does not have the bottom for reverse, but it does have the 2[SUP]nd[/SUP] upper lever above the pressure foot lever. The number on the shuttle plate is 3735183 I think. It has a picture of the needle on it and it is longer than a 15x1. is the reverse button missing ? There is no hole for it. It is very small.
Some one put a motor on it. I did not try to sew, it has not been used in years.
Is it good or bad?
Thanks,
Phyllis

Phyllis, that's a Davis Vertical Feed, and there is no reverse on them.
It should take a "Davis Long" or a Boye 10 needle.
I'd be doing a "motorectomy" and replacing the treadle parts that are gone...
