The motor has broken off, so wondered if I could attach a handcrank to it?? I know nothing about doing this, but if there is a tutorial for it, I can read and follow directions. So that was question one. If the answer is yes, then...where can I find a crank for it and would it be easy for me to do alone? I'm crossing fingers, toes, arms, legs, eyes....braiding my hair if that would work...Please please please!!!??? Thanks so much for taking a moment and pondering my questions.

Cathy has it all! You are lucky that you live close enough to her. I enjoyed my two times spent at her house just looking in awe at her collection, even the junk stuff.
Have fun with your 319! Looking forward to seeing your first project.

Heck I am ready to take on more machines for people now! I am suspecting that in a month or less I will be finished with the back log if I do not have any issues health wise. As long as I have my family and all of their help I think I will not have to worry about much.

Even tho I really like the 319W I am still learning and I don't know about the stack but it is a good question. This is the first multi talented machine I have treadled and there is so much to learn about it. Maybe Billy can answer this question for us.

Those stack disks look just like the others. There are screws holding the thing together but I would be chicken to pull it apart with out a schematic.

I am also concerned about taking the stack apart without knowing more. It looks simple enough but.........

I did find a service manual for the 319 http://parts.singerco.com/IPsvcManuals/306W25.pdf I haven't printed it out yet - pictures are pretty grainy.
oh goody - I'm the first to post here in the new QB!
I think that I found a straight leg Singer treadle cabinet for jljack so that we can swap back the cabinet that she has to my Singer VS2!! I go look at it at 7 this evening & will let you know how it goes!
