Replacing Singer sewing machine gears (507)

Video on replacing singer sewing machine gears

[@elisacattaneo6331]

Thank you so much for sharing this video. I am about to try to fix my old sewing machine with the same problem, feed dog gear broken. Do you know if I can find online the appropriate gear for my Singer Starlet 495? It is a very old model and the local shop doesn't have it on its records to order the appropriate part. It would be good to know if I can still find the spare parts. Thank you so much

Hi, obviously I'm no sewing machine repair expert, I got my parts off EBAY for anyone who was wondering, the description was "4x Gear 163997 103363 Feed Drive Shaft Set Fit for Singer 1492 2001 2005 2010" and the seller was "mitou1" out of China. Sorry I can't help you much, other than hunting down clues on the internet. Regards Dean

thank you very much for your video, it was very helpful, I have the exact same machine, but I couldn't take one of the gears off... I sent you an email with a picture and a video, I hope you can see it soon.

Thanks for sharing, I've just picked up a Singer 437 with broken drive gears, similar set-up to your machine but different things need removed to slide out the shaft that is driven by the belt. Just a quick question, when you replaced the 2 bevel gears did you need to reset them to correct the bobbin hook/needle synchronisation?

Hi, sorry for the late reply, something was not set right in youtube & I didn't get notified of your message. Yes, unless you are really lucky you will have to check/set the timing. Regards Dean
