derek Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 i would just like to say that Kevin at Siserve was extremely helpful in advising me on how to wire up the new motor i ordered for my old 29k patcher, had it wired up in 10 minutes and machine stitching perfectly, also the lady who answered the phone was extremely pleasant, 5 star service all round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derek Posted January 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 it's by far a cheaper option than buying a new motorised patcher, that's for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 My pile of bits arrived yesterday & so I cleared my work & fitted it this morning Laid out & ready to install. First of all I lined everything up, drilled & tapped some mounting holes (you could drill bigger holes & bolt straight through, but I like my tap stock!) Next I mounted the connections box (after drawing a wiring diagram!) Note the rubbers at the end, I didn't like the crudeness with which the ends had been daggered!(below) so cleaned them up a bit! Wired & tidied everything up. I cut of a good 3' of cable to the peddle as there was loads! & I was pleased to see a good long power cable in there as well. Lined up the pulley. Added the belt. Sawed off the second unneeded pulley spindle. And away it went! Having faffed about with a couple of jobs it seams that whilst the motor is very torquey the belt slips marginally on take up. I might tighten it a little or see if I can get a V-Belt for it. But other than that its bloody superb! I also keep going to peddle! LOVING IT! not to fast, not to slow. A perfect motor for the job!

the dutch cobbler Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 Due this topic it looks you all still work with man-powered patchers..... Is this the way you guys still work in the UK? Until now then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the dutch cobbler Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 The Industrial Revolution was allready in late 1700.... But you missed it I think.... We are using the electric motor on the patcher since 1968! (Not we, but my dad! I was just one year then. ) I had to check out old pictures and found the first electric patcher in our store on a photo from that year.
