Husqvarna Viking Model 51 Demonstration and Review

[@beakittelscherz5419]

About the Spools hanging up: I made a round thingy out of 5mm felt. You stamp out the middle so that it fits the inner cylinder of the spool . Put it together and Bob's your uncle! Very informative Video!Thx for show and tell!

[@RychaardRyder]

Thank you, this is an amazing walkthrough of the machine! Im currently collecting all the green machines i could find, i recently got a "cousin" of this sewing machine, the 21e, its lovely and free-arm!

[@theprojectproject01]

I have two of its freearm cousin, the 21s. Extraordinarily competent machines, and one of the few zigzaggers I've found that gives a really tidy straight stitch.

[@susanohrstrom6120]

Thanks for this wonderful video. I bought a machine that looks the same, it came without the outer belt. Called Nordic zig zag. I bought a rubber belt today. It is made by Husqvarna. Motor is Danish made. I did open the back when I first got it but don’t think it has the cams. The motor would get in the way. I have several husqvarnas among other older machines. So tomorrow may see it working.

[@zrebbesh]

That's a Husqvarna model 49. They are solid machines but not very many were made. They're mostly the same as this machine without the cam mechanism. Your machine should be mostly parts compatible with the more common model 19 and 19e which were mostly the same but in a free-arm rather than in-table model.

LOVE LOVE LOVE those old macines that can do everuthing and are still working like new

[@capedoryus]

Thanks for the video. I have a Viking comming from Goodwill tomorrow. Not a gem as yours but a 70 vintage . Your video gave me the push I needed to do a video once it's sitting pretty and running like a, drum roll please, .....sewing machine.

[@user3141592635]

The "push-button-reverse" tends to gum-up on these old machines, so you can't select forward or reverse anymore. The remendy is to open up the machine in the right manner, apply heat, not much over 100 °C, applying 5-56 or WD-4, working the parts back and forth, wiping off excess oil, applying more oil, more heat, working the parts until they are completely free.

[@bekanav]

Good advice. Even better is to take mechanism out. When I've done it it has been amazing how tough that gummed-up oil can be. But if your method is enough to solve the problem there is no reason to do it more arduous way.

[@gwenkirkpatrick9866]

Just acquired a Husqvarna Automatic 51E and am excited to try it out!

[@avelsgard78]

Excellent video on a FANTASTIC machine. I LOVE the Husqvarna Vikings!

[@mariposacolorida6765]

avelsgard78 Hola , quisiera saber si consigues correas para la máquina Husqvarna vintage, una de las primeras Zig Zag , gracias por tu respuesta!

[@mariposacolorida6765]

Gracias por la respuesta!🤗

[@rachelboyett9875]

A friend of mine just gave me the same machine so this was helpful to me thank you. I just wish I had the cams or wheel so helpful thanks again. :)

[@sewingmachinesindetail]

Thank you for specifying thread size, T90 in your text. I have had a hard time finding this figure. I have been nervous, that the special shuttle hook driver and construction could cause lower possible thread size.

[@karolvaz1092]

Beautiful... I got an hysvarna Rotary... I can’t find information about it, but it’s green like this one... and it seems older.

[@b.t.6585]

I think I have the same one you're describing. Did you find any info about it that maybe you could share?

[@Drottninggatan2017]

Rotary is the name they used for the straight stitch only machines. They are from the same years as this one. Probably started in late 1950 and went on to somewhere around 1967. The Rotary uses a lever for the stitch length, but that doesn't mean it is older than this one.

[@lauraemilycampos]

Wow what a thorough review. I just picked one of these up for free and cannot find any info on it.

[@biggles5633]

Really excellent introduction to the Type 51. Well done.

[@naomipinckney]

I love you for posting this video!!!! This is almost my exact machine! Mine is a 49E

[@susanohrstrom6120]

Hi, I have a 49e. It’s called Nordic Husqvarna. It is very similar to the one in video, but no cams. I’ve got it out to sell it (I have too many lovely old machines) but find it wants to stitch on the spot. I.e very short stitches. I have tried everything I can think of ,but nothing works. Do you have any ideas?

[@sampowrie6381]

Hi, nice machine and video. Just to clarify something you say early on when you mention that this machine has 'a cast iron body. It's actually die-cast aluminium - much, much lighter! Makes a big difference to moving the machine around... Sam

[@vanessaholle7379]

Thanks for your demo...very useful. I have this machine and wondered if you know if there was ever a walking foot designed for it? I want to do some quilting...can you quilt with it using the normal foot?

[@orleymora9459]

Good evening, sorry I did not know where I could get the manual for this machine and the disk to graduate the embroidery please?

[@adamnarat9677]

Thanks so much for the video. Would you say this is closer to an industrial than a domestic? I wanted to get a 21 series, but this looks more powerful - what do you recon? Also, I don't know what's more powerful between this and the 71? Thanks so much!

[@rominacaseres4333]

Is there any chance you could do a tutorial of how to use the presser foot? I have one the argentinian version (Madex automatic), its exactly the same but i dont know how to use the different presser foot. Hope you can help me 🤞

[@oliveenowen2659]

Hello my stitch regulator knob is broken, do you know where i can get one to purchase. Mine is the husqvarna automatic type 51E. Thank you much

[@kevinsews]

Nice machine! Thanks for the review.

[@pins44]

When was this machine made? Like what year. I was temporarily gifted one.

[@JohnJohn-zn8ib]

These machines will last a century if looked after.

[@roararnevelle3636]

I have and use a 21e. A beautiful machine. The motor is about 70-75 w. That is 1/10 hp. One hp is 736 W. Mine has two gears. I own a 2000/6440 also. This is stronger with more elastic stitches, but not better/finer .

[@claudiamedina9609]

could you focus on the needle part please.

[@richardrivero1049]

hello as ago to download the decorative stitch cidid of the machine that I don't have it please can you help me I have one of those I wait for your answer

[@ncadvr]

Where do you find your machines? Thank you for the videos.

[@MsTilda2]

Excellent video, thanks and congrats with a great mashine 👍

[@chrisbeccalupton7285]

Thanks for your video! I was just given this exact model, in excellent shape but it's missing the cams. Do you know of any sources for replacing them? I would appreciate any info!

[@fernandobenavides9326]

Muy buen día, mi nombre es Fernando y le escribo desde tumaco Nariño Colombia. Muchísimas gracias por compartir esa experiencia de tener una máquina hermosísima y muy fina. Un clásico. Le agradezco infinitamente si es posible que me pueda facilitar una copia del disco de selección de puntadas. Vista no lo tengo y en Colombia es muy complicado adquirirlo. Si Usted esta de acuerdo me dice como hacemos y le realizo el pago por el medio que usted considere. Muchísimas gracias y quedo atento a su respuesta. Feliz día.

[@lindafoss3823]

Do you know what size belt it should have? Mine has a 15" belt which is too small for the motor to sit below the door to the cams.

[@biggles5633]

Great review. Beautiful machine.

[@oluomachimirian6035]

Can the machine stitch lighter fabric, and can the machine be used manually?

[@janisvillalva4264]

Hola necesito este tutorial en español...por favor

[@naialus]

Hi. I just got one like this, but it was not so well taken care of. I am trying to make it great again, but it doesn't have the bobbin case. I tried the Singer one, but it doesn't fit perfectly. Could you show me the bobbin case so I can buy the right model? I will have to import, since husqvarna is really hard to find in Brazil. So the price is really high for me and I don't want to get it wrong.

[@larrygray3922]

I have a Cl 51 A. Cannot get the hook to pick up the bobbin thread. Any advice, greatly appreciated. I have the needle in correctly. Just can't see anything that is wrong.

[@thesergeant3524]

Sounds like a timing issue. Take a look at the my video on "how to time sewing machine". Confirm that the needle and hook point are in the correct relative position. The other thing is confirm that you are holding the threads down before you start sewing. A lot of people don't realize you have to "trap the threads" when you start or you'll ended up with a birdsnest.

[@Jimbai9122]

hello every one ..do u have a user menue of the cl 51 ....

[@Drottninggatan2017]

You can get a hint of what year the machine is built by looking at the serial number. It is inside the left hand cover. Probably it would be a letter and then 51 and then some digits. If the letter is M then it is 1958, if it is S then it is 1964, and so on, counting up. This system was used up to 1967.

[@Drottninggatan2017]

And also, to prevent the spool from spinning ahead and messing up the thread, you should have the felt washers on the spool pins.

[@scordar74]

Just gave my 12 year old daughter one of these, it's my grandmothers old machine. it works just fine for a few seconds until the belt starts slipping and it just stalls. Not sure if it is worth fixing or just scrap metal. Pretty cool looking retro machine and since it belonged to my granny i'm interested in finding out how much would the drive belt cost? I'm talking about the belt that is in the far right side between the flywheel (handwheel) and the motor.

[@bekanav]

Worth fixing? You have just a simple belt too loose. It is like you said: My car has a flat tire, is it worth fixing or is it just scrap metal? There is screws in motor mount to adjust the belt tension. New belts are surely available for 5 bucks. Belts can be easily made from thick leather if new one is needed/not found. Hope this helps or you have fixed that problem already.

[@VaivaoReed]

Do you know an equivalent for Singer 4624? I couldn't locate a manual on Singer website.

[@magaligamarra97]

Goodnight. I bought a beautiful Husvarna machine, used, with furniture, now I have it broken, the bobbin jumps out of its place and begins to spin in its cover, the thread becomes tangled and it is impossible to sew. Also the tension button is loosened and slips out of place. in my country they don't know how to fix it. please what should i do. I don't want to have to get rid of it because I can't find a way for it to work. It is Viking 51 model.Thanks for your reply.
