Going to attempt this in the am…looks to be a one man job.

Probably wouldnt hurt to put a bead of silicone around the entire filter from the inside

Just replaced both on my 2017. I was able to do it all from inside the cab, just took some finessing. I tied a string to the top to help pull it in and to prevent dropping it outside. Thnx for the video.

I liked how you slid them between the bed and cab, instead of ramming them through the hole and potentially ruining the seal. Gotta do mine today. Thanks for the vid

Do you have the replacement part number?

Thanks for showing! I just ordered 2 for my truck :)

They even sounded better when you snapped them in than the old ones

Very informative video. Thanks so much for sharing your experience.

Doug for the win! Thank you. Maybe Mopar has changed the form factor of the plastic recently, but I have a feeling that other people saying you can install the new vent from inside the cab is BS. Coming up from the bottom with a little cordage is the way to go.

Stupid design, my floor has been wet too🙄

I want to you for this video, I stumbled on it as I thought my 3rd light was leaking. I had water in the drivers side back storage area in the back under the seat. As I was looking online for how to do it again, as I had replaced the 3rd light seal before, was looking for anything new on it, and found this video and others about the vents in the back, WHO would have thought. Anyway, I watched your video, and determined it was the vent and not the 3rd light. So I purchased 2 vents as I figured the other was bad too, do them both at the same time. Man, when I took them out, the seals were cracked and dry rotted, 3/4 of the vents were gone, man, I would have never looked to replace these 2 vents had I not found this info on youtube. I had to use fishing line, and lowered the vents down between the cab of the truck and the bed of the truck then had someone grab them from inside, and mount them, Easy peasy. Took about 15-20 mins to get the seat pulled, the 3 metal things with the straps, and the cover to get to the vents. Again, thanks for the video.

Thanks. Looks like I have some work to do. Mine are leaking (I think). This vid will help!

Excellent!!!!!!

Hey Doug, my 2018 Standard Cab was just a little bit different, I found it easier to slide them in from underneath the bed. But your video was a huge help. Thank you!

very interesting

excellent thank you

Dear Mr. Andy, Your explanations about the singer 401G machine is clear. I am from srilanka. I am in possession of a Singer 401G machine. My problem is the brush holder s for the above machine are broken. For the time being I have soldered them with lead. But I am not sure whether that will last long. It is impossible to buy these brush holders here. Can you please help me in getting down four numbers of Brush holders (Brass) for the above 401 g. Please explain me in detail about the mode of payment etc. With regards.

Great video! Did you ever end up finding a good source for the right size of brushes? I'm having trouble finding a place to get them.

This is a great video with excellent close-up detail on how to remove, AND replace the motor brushes. I've never changed the motor brushes on these machines before, so this was exactly what I needed!

Thank you very much. That was exactly what I was looking for. :)

Thank you for the great video! I just got a 500A and want to check the brushes as I perform the cleaning and maintenance. This is very helpful.

It’s gorgeous!

It's gorgeous. Thanks for saving it, Doug. I like that you did the walk around and showed the backside of the machine. Lots of people do not do that. Happy you made another video! Take care.

Thank you for posting a second video. I actually gasped when you took the cover off of the machine. Wow, simply beautiful! It looks as though the decals are completely intact. Have you had to rewire your 15-91?

Would you say it runs like a singer

New content! Woohoo!

I own several VSMs (Singer) and so will be looking forward to MANY(?) more of your videos! Welcome to my subscribed viewing list!!! (Apparently, I'm number 15? YAY!!! Have a beautiful day!!! Oh, and you can thank Andy for sending me your way! Many Blessings!!

Great vid Doug. I own 2 vintage Singers and I've learned so much about the machines through UA-cam videos. Looking forward to your next vid!

Great explanation!!! Thanks!!

Suggestion for cleaning the commutater. Try a cotton swab moistened with rubbing alcohol. Make sure that the swab is just moistened, not saturated.

Great video. Good production and informational. Are there symptoms to indicate when brushes need to be replaced or cleaned? Exactly what are the brushes function?

great job doug for your first video;];];] clear and easy to follow /understand.;];];] i think andy has room for another teacher;];];] keep them coming ;];];];]

Great job Doug - and congrats on the inaugural video - nice to see 401's kept in the family. Your mother would be proud. Proof positive these machines will last a few lifetimes (or more) if kept up properly. As a fellow 401 owner, always interested in videos on these machines. One of my favorites!

Congratulations, Doug on an excellent first UA-cam video! I am your second subscriber and I have a pretty good idea who the first one is. 😀 Your close up camera work and instructions are so good that I am completely confident in performing the same procedure on the motor I have already pulled out of my 500A. I am refurbishing the machine using Andy Tube’s superlative tutorials. Acolytes of Andy Tube are legion, I suspect. I appreciated hearing the history of your 401. Your mom sewed racing silks-that’s fascinating. Anyway, thanks for what I hope is the first of many videos to come.

Nicely done, Doug. Clear and to the point. Thanks for showing us how we can do it ourselves and clean or replace the carbons. I have never used an eraser on the commutator, but I just recently read in a Model 221 Service Manual that a rubber eraser is the only thing they recommend for cleaning the commutator. Congrats on your first video and hope to see more.
