Welcome to Quilting Board, hunt2han. I'm wondering if one of the other 96 machines would help. Apparently https://www.singersewinginfo.co.uk/i...ustrialmanuals has one available for pdf download. I couldn't enlarge the photo of the cover. There are a lot of 96 class machines and a lot of parts manual. I have gone to https://web.archive.org/web/20190820...IPinstManuals/ and https://web.archive.org/web/20190727.../IPpartCharts/ for manuals. I have found some of the instruction manuals have gotten mixed up with the parts lists and vice versa. Another source would be https://www.manualslib.com/s/singer+96.html

I have found that only the big red "Reply" button or "Quote" work to give me the paper clip icon to work for adding pictures.

Welcome to QB, soohum. Hollyann hasn't been on QB for a number of years. I'm guessing that you have the manual that has directions for the chain stitch and that you also have the 'spider' that is needed for the chainstitch.
There is a manual at https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B2P3...TtCpVqkMl_L7Xw and there is a web page that talks about the chain stitch which may or may not help. I definitely cannot be any more help than that as I have never seen one in real life.

Hey there hunt2han, This forum isn't the best for industrial machines. I assume your machine is a Singer. You may get better answers if you start your own thread with the name and model # in the subject line.. Pics are good too but hey need to be under 2m Welcome aboard.

Minnesota A treadle in cabinet needs one bolt
Hi - I'm brand new to the forum and am one week into restoring this Minnesota A. It's stamped A9 on the bottom and has SN D3543538 on the front plate. Is this Davis made? The 1910 Sears Roebuck catalog has a spitting image of the head and cabinet, and the shuttle is stamped "Davis". It's mostly apart and could hopefully work again if I can find replace the broken bolt that connects the foot treadle to the lower Pitman arm linkage. I've attached a photo of how the Pitman linkages cleaned up. Any help on where to look for that bolt would be most appreciated as this is my first attempt at doing something like this. Is it reasonable to assume that any Minnesota A in a cabinet or frame that looks like it came from the 1910 Sears Roebuck catalog would have this bolt?

Minnesota A - what are these extra parts?
Is anything in this photo supposed to be on the Minnesota A (A9) cabinet treadle (SN D3543538) I'm restoring?
Is the bent needle in the photo the right length for the machine?
I'm new to this and wondering...seems smart to ask now while everything is being disassembled.
