Sewing Machine Gear Replacement and Synchronization

[@zane9419]

The fabric advancing thing is called the feed dog. It’s under the needle plate. Lol The machined area is called the hook! Practical and easy to follow video.

[@sengsational]

You can tell I'm not too familiar with these machines. Now I know. And the dog doesn't bark :)

[@Jolie-cf2ei]

About 9020T continued... This machine has the electrical connection on one side and the motor below in a separate compartment. Do I disconnect only the outlet on the machine before trying to remove the 2 hook gears?

[@sengsational]

In general, I like to first take photos before disconnecting things. As I recall, the long shaft could not be removed until some electrical things were removed. Although the timing is good now, when the gears are replaced, the timing will probably be disrupted. You might be able to mark the shafts before disassembly, but I have no experience with that. Since the timing is good now, I would take a close look at the way it works now, and take pictures, so you will recognize good timing after you replace the worn gears.

Excellent video as it allows the watched to learn by trial & error (the best way). Could have gone straight to a pro repair video but really enjoyed yours as it allowed me to think things through with you (if that makes sense). Gears have arrived, so I'm going to crack on with this repair this weekend. Cheers👍🏾 from the UK.

[@sengsational]

I just got back from visiting your beautiful country (was in Cornwall and Southampton). I hope your repair went well. Before this video, I knew nothing about how sewing machines work, but I like to try to observe and figure things out. It's pretty easy to do videos where I'm just fumbling along with the viewers, LOL! Can't be a know-it-all, but instead a bumbler that finds the solution.

[@armoris66]

@@sengsational Hope you had a great stay! I'm sure you did as Cornwall is a beautiful part of the UK and the natives are friendly. I'm currently reading your message whilst visiting the Lake district, which is lovely part of the UK worth visiting if the opportunity ever presents itself. Fixed my old Singer 501 in line with your video and now, after a bit of fiddling around with precise bobbin loop pickup position, it works a treat. Thanks again and God bless brother. 👍🏾

(I'm a french. At the end of French google English translation) Bravo! Très bonne explication et image pour l'explication du mouvement de descente de l'aiguille, etc. / Felcitations! Very good explanation and picture for the explanation of the downward movement of the needle, etc

[@sengsational]

Merci pour ces mots gentils. Parce que je ne comprenais pas le mécanisme, j'explorais le concept en faisant la vidéo. Je suis content que vous l'ayez trouvé utile. Thanks for the kind words. Because I didn't understand the mechanism, I was exploring the concept while making the video. I'm glad you found it helpful.

[@Jolie-cf2ei]

My machine seems to be newer than the ones usually fixed. It's a 9020T Singer. Only problem is worn hook gears. Timing is good.

[@sengsational]

I responded to the other comment, but I'll add that you might come back and let us know how the repair worked, and which components had to be removed on the 9020T repair.

[@nondog18]

I need the instructions on how to take those shafts off. The part you didn't include.

[@sengsational]

Oops! I knew I did less than a complete job on that video. I try to respect everyone's time...sorry to have been less than stellar investment with yours.

[@nondog18]

@@sengsational it was fine, I just needed a bit more.

[@WanderingNature]

I just replaced all 4 of mine you can do it I just bought this 1973 singer there is a very good video out there I will go get the name of it for you

[@WanderingNature]

MDTV3 look him up he’s great to watch regarding replacing the gears

[@brenixon1577]

Is this hard to do for a novice? I have no mechanical inclinations at all. However, the repair shop wants to charge me 175$ so I want to try this my self.

[@sengsational]

This repair takes patience and you might get "stuck" in what to do next. It's like a puzzle. You might realize "that's in the way" and not know what to do next. Or "that needs to turn, but it doesn't turn", and need to figure out how to get it to turn. If you have the right sized Alan wrenches (6 sided things), you should be able to get it apart, if you are persistent. I wouldn't be in any kind of hurry...instead enjoy solving the puzzle. Getting the "timing" right is the hardest part (where the needle is with respect to the bobbin). It's critical to get it right, but, again, tighten, rotate it slowly by hand, notice the position of things, loosen, move, tighten again, and keep trying. If you get the gears on and you just need to synchronize, maybe the shop would charge less to set the synchronization.

[@brenixon1577]

@@sengsational Thank you so much

[@brenixon1577]

I have the same sewing machine that need these gears replaced. Do I need to buy some grease for this? I bought the gears already.

[@sengsational]

If you can, I'd buy grease, just so you'd protect your gears. But it really takes very little grease to be effective, so kind of a shame to buy it for 1/32nd of a teaspoon worth. If there were globs of old grease, that might suffice for a while.

[@brenixon1577]

@@sengsational what tool are you using to loosen the screws on the inside. I have an Allen wrench and I am getting no where.

[@sengsational]

@@brenixon1577 If the hex (Allen) wrench was the right size, then you should be able to break it loose (counter clockwise). They might be pretty tight. You might need to use a glove if it hurts your fingers when you try to loosen it.

[@brenixon1577]

@@sengsational My parts came but the one on my machine has two holes and the one I ordered only has one so I am reordering more parts. I will try to loosen them a bit harder when my parts come in. Thank you for your help I am going to try this. Lmbo. But I am thinking maybe I should just buy a new machine 😔

[@pathophilosophy]

Dear Sir! Thank You so much! Owing to Your tutorial I have managed to fix my 40-year-old Łucznik 875 (Polish sewing machine built based on Singer parts). It works better than ever before. I think the teeth of the gear must have started crumbling years ago... And it seems synchronized perfectly :-)

[@sengsational]

Glad you got it working!

[@babanahya1126]

How to fix the reserve problem in singer 514 help me please

[@sengsational]

I'm afraid I'd need more information to be able to advise. Even then, I'm not sure I'd have what it takes to give good advice.

[@nicklebak3884]

How do you take it apart

[@sengsational]

My contribution to youtube lacks this important information, sorry. I do recall that it requires removing the power connection portion in order to slip the shaft out far enough to slip the new gears on.

[@babanahya1126]

What do when my singer machine like this one goes wrong direction

[@sengsational]

I don't know too much about it, but I know there's a button that you can press that makes it go backwards. Could it be that button is stuck?

[@sewfab7805]

The gear is frozen with old grease that has hardened. Get the stuff called Blaster, spray and keep working the part back and forth, back and forth. It will slowly start to move, keep spraying and moving. It will eventually free up and move forward.

[@flordelislesmesmartinez6900]

Please in Spanish I am interested. fix my machine the teeth do not run is the 834. of singer equal to that thank you very much for your help. I will try to translatem

[@sengsational]

Lo siento, no hablo español. Lo mejor que puedo sugerir es translate.google.com

[@掘柑掘桔掘金桔]

Thanks for sharing! I've got a singer 7105 and the gear is very similar to yours! Hopefully I can repair it very soon after i buy some new gear for my sewing machine, your video is helpful!

[@sengsational]

On hind-sight, it would have been better had I shown all of the steps for disassembly, because the shafts must slide toward the wiring area. Good luck.

[@douglaskorengold6836]

Broke the hook gear set on mom's old singer sewing covid 19 masks for the family and appreciate the advice from someone who isn't a pro.

[@sengsational]

Yeah, I'm far from a pro! When I can't find what I need on youtube, I make my own, even if it's an imperfect result, maybe it will inspire someone else to make a video to clarify.

[@LilDirt12]

Awesome. By you making this video and sharing it with us, helps give us confidence to at least try. And your lingo was spot on. Hahaha. Thanks so much for the share. Your awesome. It is actually refreshing to watch a video made by a non-know-it-all. Take care man.

[@sengsational]

I'm glad you found it refreshing. A while back, one of my friends from the neighborhood watched one of my videos and later, when he and I were talking said the video "was like chatting with you, in your living room", and I said "that boring?" hahaha!

[@LilDirt12]

@@sengsational hahaha! Your funny. Take care. Hope you and yours are healthy and doing well.

[@jmolvera8337]

Thank you but please add removal of gears right under needle, especially the one on the long rod.

[@sengsational]

I realize that this video lacks completeness for the project. I wasn't shooting the whole time I was working on it. At this point, I'm not going to open-up the machine again unless it stops working. But I've used it several times since then, and it continues to work.
