I use an old singer 66...beefed up motor and adjusted to sew through many layers of canvas and thin leather...I would like a better machine someday though. A walking foot would be nice. I have a shoe patcher hand crank I need to motorize..that may be worth a try.

Thanks! I'm used to sewing waxed and unwaxed canvas, normal tight weave stuff...

Wow, fast response!! Hmmm...I have never sewed that way before, is it weird to get even...ish...stitching that way?

Soooo....I was sewing the mexican "baja" blanket for a seat cover...and....it does not want to feed well, goes and stops, etc...should have known it would be weird being such a loose weave but spaced it. Is there a backing tape or other trick I can put on to help it feed normally? Thanks!

Well darn, fuse box did fill with water...fuses rusted, ecu sits next it, water rusted through pin from ecu, I'm sure there is more going on but why look further. Ecu needs programmed at dealer with new or used ecu...not worth it.

Yup, may bring to place this week to drain gas/clean fuel lines...do all the basic free checklist stuff. I'm not sure if he even checked the fuel pum or spark at the plugs, after the key and battery he was ready lo light it on fire...didnt bug him to much with questions lol.

Ha, thanks. Looked at it today, was mechanically fine when parked, appears water got in the main fuse panel under hood, no destroyed suff put definitely has light rust on stuff, all electrical works, cranks but no start. May fiddle with it a bit to diagnose more... This is almost free if I bite...

Buddy has a non running one that he used to drive. Parked, lost key, got new 400 dollar key, wont start. Sat for a few years....thinking electrical issue?? Anyway....anyone here work on one of these? Thinking of getting it for a gas saver...

Slow going today....so far I've started watching "the Endless Summer 2"..

I was lazy....German pancakes....

Ooh....I'll have to out that car on the do not buy list...

I did not work on my seat covers...or re-index my torsion bars like I was gonna do. Decided to fix an old axe....new handle was tweaked so lots of filing to reshape it. ..

I feel your pain....number 6 cylinder on my exterra is like that....all the way in back and down 6 to 7 inches. I hammered my swivel extension so they weren't so loose and did it by braille...20 minutes for one spark plug....BOOOOOO...what kinda vehicle are you working on?

Ha....I am still working on it...to many things happening and I'm always misplacing my jots...

Greetings and welcome! I am hit and miss with online use....sorry for the late hello!

Welcome! I too apologize for my delayed greeting....how embarrassing....

Finally someone who's as late as I normally am hehehe....

Cool, something new to try...

Also...a but labourish perhaps...but how about put waxing it, help seal up the paint/less porous for bonding? And a fake owl to deter pests?

Ah...would probably try screen door screen stapled to the rafters above the tractor then, combined with a cover. What is the make and model of your tractor? Probably expensive But youd think someone would make a decent cover. I've Never heard of paint wear from rubbing, crazy! For my log...
