- NOTE: AT I CALL IT A 'BEARING' THAT IS INCORRECT; IT ACTS LIKE A 'BUSHING' IMHO.
Dennis is a Singer 401A that has been waiting for a house with heat!
First we remove the top. Then we remove the Handwheel. The motor is stuck and difficult. With a bit of patience and a change in strategy it comes loose.
00:00 GREETINGS MY FRIENDS, VIEWERS, SUBSCRIBER'S, FELLOW RESTORER'S. I HAVE THIS AMAZING MACHINE HERE.
Hi Alex! Central Michigan Sewing Supplies. Ebay. singer.com. Thanks for viewing Alex, enjoy your machines! Alex is asking where to buy a motor.
!Где купить новый мотор ?
I don’t have one like that but I rescued a sew machine from harsh rain and dirt and pay $20 for it
Wow i needed this..i plan to buy one of these.i bought one a few years ago. Only the motor smelled so bad i had to sew outside 😢so i got rid of it. Getting to that motor was something i wasnt able to do. Ill try agan😂❤thanks for this video
Thanks Mamie! I am just looking at my other 401 named Ruth. I hope you get one soon, so you can have some fun! Thanks!

Denny looks pretty "minty" to me.
Hey Ralph! Agreed! Even when they are grubby they are awesome machines. Have fun with yours!
Do you plan to clean it with electronic cleaner only or is it ok to use a degreaser as well? Maybe I dare to open my motor too...? It is probably as dirty as yours since I just opened the first lid when I cleaned it with electronic cleaner.
GREETINGS ESTHER DiGRAPPA! WHAT A WONDERFUL QUESTION/COMMENT! RIGHT NOW MY FIRST CHOICE TO CLEAN A MOTOR WILL BE TO USE ONLY ELECTRONIC CLEANER. MY OPINION IS THAT YOU SHOULD OPEN THE MOTOR! THAT'S MY ANSWER! IF YOU LIKE LONGER ANSWERS, THERE IS MORE BELOW. GOOD LUCK! LOL! EITHER WAY HAVE FUN, KEEP SAFE! 👍
WHEN I TOOK APART MY FIRST SEWING MACHINE I DIDN'T FILM OR PHOTO VERY MUCH. BUT AFTER THAT I WOULD BE AT MY WORK TABLE WITH THE LAPTOP ON ANDY TUBE AND ME TAKING THE MACHINE APART WHILE I WATCHED AND WORKED. I FILMED EVERYTHING I DID BECAUSE I WASN'T SURE. I ALSO ACQUIRED SOME SERVICE MANUALS . IT IS SO ENJOYABLE TO FIX THESE MACHINES, TO RESCUE THEM.
SEAN CANNELL AT THINK MEDIA HAS AN EXPRESSION ABOUT 'HOW TO START'. HE SAYS WE JUST HAVE TO 'PUNCH DOUBT & FEAR IN THE FACE' ! YOU CAN DO IT IF YOU WANT TO DO IT.
WITH THIS MOTOR I WASHED IT IN DEGREASER FIRST. THEN A WASH WITH DISHWASHING LIQUID AND WATER. THEN A WATER RINSE AND BLOW DRY WITH HAIRDRYER. THEN I SPRAYED IT WITH ELECTRONIC CLEANER. WHEN I SPRAYED IT WITH ELECTRONIC CLEANER SOME GRIME CAME RUNNING DOWN.
SO THEN I SPRAYED IT AGAIN WITH ELECT. CLEANER AND THE MOTOR COMMUTATOR AND THE WINDINGS ALL WERE CLEAN BUT IT HAD GRIME FROM THE INSIDE TOP OF THE METAL COVER WHERE THE MIDDLE BEARING IS. BECAUSE OF THAT BEARING I HAD AVOIDED SPRAYING THAT AREA THE FIRST TIME.
AT THE END OF THIS VIDEO IS A LINK TO THE VIDEO WHERE I GIVE IT THE SECOND SPRAYING. WHEN I THINK OF THE WHOLE DEGREASER , WATER & SOAP, THEN WATER RINSE, AND FINALLY A BLOW DRY PROCESS, THAT IS A LOT OF TOUCHING THE MOTOR! IT IS SOMEWHAT INVASIVE. WHEREAS WITH THE ELECTRONIC CLEANER IT IS A SIMPLE SPRAY & DRIP DRY! THAT IS A LOT LESS TRAUMA FOR THE MOTOR AND WIRES. I AM GOING TO USE ELECTRINIC CLEANER AS MY PREFERRRED CLEANING PROCESS. STEVIE AT SEWSAVEME USES ELECTRONIC CLEANER IN THEIR ELECTRIC MOTOR VIDEOS.
I KNOW THIS IS A LONG ANSWER. CONGRATULATIONS IF YOU MADE IT THIS FAR. I HOPE THIS HAS HELPED. LET ME KNOW HOW ELSE I CAN HELP.
@@JebbAdams Thank you, I like your long answers and sense of humor. 😂
@@esther8897 SO NICE! THANKYOU ESTHER DiGRAPPA!
I should've watched this video years ago.i through a beautiful 401 away that sewed really well. However I would have to sew outside because the motor smelled so horrific
How unfortunate Hosea Hosanna! What machine do you have now? Thanks for viewing!
@@JebbAdams I'm going through the elna star series. However this video makes me want another 401.wish I hadn't given M up on it.
@@hoseahosanna6700 Elna's are quality machines. Maybe you will find a 401. I've downsized from over 50 machines to under 30. I need to let some go!
He needs a lot of work in the shop
