Looking for any info I can find on a White treadle machine

The only number we could find on it that may be a serial or model number is 161918. I've found leather belts on Amazon but I'm not sure if I'll need other parts yet. There are two bobbins and two bobbin shuttles but I have no idea how to put them in. I really need instructions as this is my first treadle machine.

I don't know if your machine is a rotary or a long bobbin

About any long bobbin info will help
Muv and fav videos have lots of info on long bobbin machines

If you go to the singerco.com site they have manuals for Whites too. Without a model number just put in a W for the model and a whole bunch of White manual options will come up. Look through the free-bees to find one that looks like your machine. This could take awhile, but usually you can find a manual that will work.

Have fun, and remember most White machines the hand wheel turns to the rear.
