Hi CMR, I am really glad to found your YT video because I am about to get the same machine you are showing here. Unfortunately I am not sure about the machine model cause even the "Singer" name was erased after so many years of machine working life. I am gessing that it is the same model by comparing the pictures I took against your video. In case it is the same model, I would like to ask you to help me to find a place in USA were I can get the TIMING BELT which is the only broken part before agree to buy it, otherwise the machine it will be just a piece of metal. Many thanks for your appreciated support. Note: Apparently the original Timing Belt has 62 teeth cleats (not sure about it). How I can send pictures to you?. Thanks again.
Hi sorry I wasn’t clear on my last message. What I wanted to ask what model number is the needles used in this machine? Can I use a size 18 needle in this machine? Thanks
Hi Again, I seem to have locked in my stitch length wheel when trying to take off the flywheel of my 51 56- the stitch length knob was working fine but now seems locked in with the flywheel.. is there something I need to do differently when I screw in the flywheel grub screw? That seems to be where the problem started. how you can help thanks! Ian
Lovely machine and thank you.. I have the same one- Can you advise what needle system does it take are these easy to get in the UK or elsewhere- I have an oversupply of M40 thread so needing probably a size 21/22 needle (I'm in aus)? Cheers.
I’m having trouble figuring out how thread this machine properly! It seems I don’t have enough tension. Can u possibly help me with that? I have a singer 51-54 model
Hi, I have the same sewing machine , I need to get the timing belt , but I don't find it, do u have changed before the timing belt for a new one? Are those made up from rubber material like the new ones that are I'm the engine car ? If so what is the correspondent serial number , thanks
That's interesting about the thread numbering. Here in the states the higher the number the thicker the thread. I use V-69 or V-92 usually for my walking foot machine.
Hi, my son hand stitches wallets and belts etc. I have a chance to pick one of these up for $200. I don't know anything about it except that it is operational. Do you think it's worth the price? Thank you for the video.
Great video I need one of these machines.
Beautiful, ty. I was looking at a 51w25 for shoemaking. Can you adjust the stitch length?
Hi, I love your videos. I have the same machine 51w56. I was lucky when I stumbled on it
Hi I just got an old 51W. What size bobbins does it use? What needles do you recommend for leather using 69 or 92 thread. Thanks
Good habits!
Hi, what needle specification does this machine use? I would like to order needles but don’t know the type?

This is the machine that was in Silence of the Lambs that Buffalo Bill used.
