Come on guys. Installing this belt is as easy as kissing your Mom on Thanksgiving. Just put the belt OVER your pump pulley before putting it in the motor pulley AND THEN drive it in the pump pulley. People work in those factories. Things must be simple!!! And yes, use all the silicone grease that comes with your belt because as it dries out over time it will act as a something that sticks. Easy, VERY EASY job.
Thanks for the video! Do you know where the air intake before the filter is? twice we had a small animal got into the fresh intake before the filter. Thanks
My lower left gear screw is stripped and I’ve tried a multitude of different methods to try to get it out. Any suggestions? Also what size hex screw did you use to remove the upper main gear? I tried to use a 1/16 on mine and it is still too big. I was given the machine by a relative going into assistant living but I am very close to throwing it out.
There is no bearing in this motor, it use bushing. Bushing needs grease, not oil. Use Hi temp grease.. If your motor only humming and not spinning, then the bushing is broke or damage.
Those two Philips lamps you showed at the beginning were manufactured in August 1995. Crazy to think that those were some of the last of their kind to be sold in the US. Full-wattage F40CWs were banned from sale in the US in October 1995. Believe it or not, most of the big threes’ fluorescent lamps were manufactured in the USA up until just these past few years. It’s kind of interesting that you replaced Westinghouse lamps with Philips lamps, since Westinghouse lamps are essentially the ancestors of modern US-market Philips lamps. Philips bought Westinghouse Lighting in 1984. Subsequently, Philips-branded lamps began to be sold in the US, manufactured in Westinghouse factories. Early lamps were made on the same machinery that Westinghouse used, and featured the same black end caps that they used. Philips did sell lamps in the US before 1984, but they were branded as Norelco.
I recently had to replace the belt and tried several tools to try to leverage the belt up onto the backside of the wheel, as suggested in this video, but the space was very limited. I was finally able to complete the task by immersing the new belt in boiling water, for about 5 minutes, to give it more pliability. To guide it up onto the wheel, I used a very firm rubber door stop, which forced it up, and onto the wheel. Hope that helps others.
The lens itself doesnt come out of the camera like most, but when you press the silver bottom on top after turning it on, it takes a somewhat ok picture,
I know this is an older video and hopefully you will answer (crosses fingers) but its helped me except I cannot get the top upper vertical gear out... it has the smallest allen wrench screw I've ever seen..and they are stuck in there... i don't understand how to get it out..its so frustrating. This is for a customer of mine. I own a restoration sewing machine shop and I bought a new gear..now I've followed your video and that top gear just wont budge.what do you suggest? Please help thank you
Thank You for this video. I am very attached to my Singer Touch & Sew for 57 years. I don't know if I could function without it:) I hope the local sewing repair shop will be willing to fix, if not then I will make an attempt:)
I am rebuilding a 2ARFE engine for my Toyota RAV4. The top timing chain guide bolt had loosened itself and fallen out, eventually causing the guide to break and the chain to break. Which, damaged the crankshaft reluctor wheel and required full rebuild of engine. If you are still having this problem, I would recommend it getting looked at ASAP. It appeared that the bolt took some time to come out as it wore down the threads in the block. I bought the car from a friend after it died, so I don’t know if it had this rattle before, but I can only assume that there was some rattle that led up to the chain breaking.
It’s got 135k on it now. Only seems to do it when the engine has a load on it. I don’t drive it much these days but will have to have someone look at it. It doesn’t sound right.
I've heard of the "plastic" (resin) balance shaft gears deteriorating and plugging the oil pickup tube. Not sure if it's the case here but I would drop your oil pan and see what you find. @@More350Power
Does the center wheel that the bobbin sits directly on need any special alignment? I have done the hook timing, but the bobbin keeps getting fouled with the thread. I know that I moved this "bobbin turntable" when I replaced the bobbin gear directly below it.Thanks.
Is there anything internally that I would need to mod or just use an oil separator to return the oil??..I actually have one of these and want to use it on the engine of my service truck for a back up air source but can’t find any info on how to use it as a air compressor…any tips would be appreciated Thanks for the video!
These have an oil sump in them that keeps them lubricated. Some people use an oil water separator and have it drain into the suction side of the compressor
