The numbers you are referencing right now are the part number for the motor.
You will also get an opportunity to clean that little sucker out too.... :D
Hope that helps,

But you did get a wonderful deal on your new machine and it looks really nice!!
This is a 185 that I am working on now, yes its a complete basket case and it took a cutting torch and a 3lb hammer to take it apart. But it will get a complete repaint and all new parts inside and will be just like a new machine before its over with.

I have 11 sewing machines all but 3 are singers, old machines. I have 3 1928's, a red eye, 2 featherweights, a mending machine and a long arm mchine. I also have a Precision, which was given to me by a friend that owned a thrift store. I would go back quickly and buy that old machne for the new ones are plastic and won't last long. My featherweight is the only one that I sew on and I love it.
