I have many of these machines and when I acquire a new one with a stuck handwheel I soak with oil first then I use a rubber mallet and gently tap it till it gets loose. I protect the machine with a cloth first. Works everytime.
Can you do a video (or direct me to one) that shows how to reassemble the handwheel? Having a tricky problem with reassembly and the location of the set screw. Thank you!
Funny you should mention that! I will be doing another hand wheel video for the 500/400 models. I should sew; but I don’t; yet. It is on a list, let me see if I can find that list! You don’t want to see me sew! Thanks for being here craftlady!
The handwheel on my Singer 500A will not separate when trying to separate it to wind a bobbin. Any ideas how to separate the two halves? This is a first for me, as I’ve been using this machine for over 50 years!
Greetings Dan Sheffield! So the question is how to take the handwheel off is that the goal Dan? Or do you only want to wind the bobbin? The handwheel has a gold colored inner wheel and a cream color outer wheel on the machine. To wind the bobbin: Hold the gold inner wheel while turning the outer wheel towards yourself. That should disengage the needle bar from the horizontal arm shaft so that only the bobbin winder spins while the needle bar rests. That's that! To remove the handwheel: On the outer wheel there is a small screw on the wheel face. Remove the screw. Now hold the gold inner wheel with your hand, with your other hand turn the outer cream wheel towards you. You will turn it for what seems a long time but do not stop it will come off. That's that! I hope this helps. You know where to find me. Let us know how you make out Dan! All the best!
@@JebbAdamsmucho gusto ....disculpe ya puedo llenar mi carretel mi pregunta es normal q sea lento o necesita mantenimiento muchísimas gracias y si fuera mantenimiento como lo hago 😊😊😊 saludos
While holding the gold wheel, the outer wheel will turn and turn and turn, but won't disengage the needle bar. It looks like my father in law got creative making a new screw for the fly wheel at some point, so I don't know if that's what's doing it....
Barbara Andrews thank you! Where is part two? I haven't done it yet! But it would be good to get it done soon! I will be doing a 'throat plate cover' video next! But it will be on the Singer 319K! Hope you will enjoy that too! Please tell us, do you have a machine or two? What about sewing!
Hey Mrssea Sea! All the "J" machines were built in St. John's, Quebec, south of Montreal. All the "K" machines that were shipped from Scotland to Canada had the motors, wiring & cabinets installed in St.John's, Quebec also; before delivery in Canada and The States.
All of Jebb Adams Channel machines are electrically powered.
Singer Models 400/500 have an electric motor to drive the Horizontal Arm Shaft.
I learned to sew on this machine. Nostalgic.
So cool for you Susie! Do you still have it? What do you sew Susie? I like your name. It sounds French! Have you been to Montreal?

Try Andy Tube he has done most things already. Thanks for watching!
@@JebbAdams Thanks Jebb - I'll do that. Appreciated your video!
@@bsugarman1 Jen at Sewing Machine Rehab really knows her stuff too!
I was hoping this video showed someone sewing with a handwheel machine.
