I have a freebie 15 ( not sure of the model, it is like a 1912 or so treadle head), but the poor thing was rusted badly and froze up solid, in my haste to loosen it up I was soaking and tapping with a rubber mallet and I let fly a stray blow and broke the "toggle link" the one that connects the front "flywheel, or cam... to the needle bar. I was considering making one in true scrounger fashion, but I figure there were so many of these around that someone may have given up on one and parted it out... and there could be parts out there.

So if anyone has any front end parts for an early ( dont know if it matters) 15 drop me a line.

Thanks
Dan.

I have several but are later models. Show a photo if you can so I can know what I'm looking for.

I will try to take a picture tonight when I get home. Thank you.
I will have to go out in the garage and retrieve it from the bucket of hydraulic fluid I left it in. It is about time I do that anyway.

I have a couple of wrecks. If you take a picture of what you want I might be able to sort something out for you.

Thanks for the replies,
Here is a picture of the part I need, this is the needle bar and presser bar under the front plate of a 15,
the screw driver is touching the broken area of the part I need. ( dont mind the rust, it is just surface that flashed on over night after a thourough cleaning, and has been taken care of now )

I think this is the part you need. If it if and when I firure out how to get it off it's yours.

That's the link!, notice how yours circles the pin (screw) so as to pull AND push the needle bar? Mine does not...(not now anyway) my needle only goes down.

Thank you all for looking, this will make mine basically whole again.
