She thik
Thanks. That sounds like a whole lot more than it's worth. If I ground a V and welded it what rod should I use? 6011?It can be repaired at any good fab shop....if it was me I would just figure a way to possible drill and tap some holes and bolt on some square tube or angle to straighten the deck out.....if u want to try to repair it you'll want to totally disassemble and remove all paint 1 or 2 inches surrounding the areas to be repaired. The crack will need a small hole drilled at the end of the crack and the crack ground out to a bevel. After welding peening is required and you'll want to wrap in leather or bury it in sand to allow a long cool down
The cool down is the most important part....the weld and base metal will need to cool at the same temp and same rate if at all possible

The thing I don't want to do is disassemble everything and I know that might destroy everything if I didn't.That is a tuff repair for someone with limited experience....let a pro weld for u.
Tension. The thread is not being pulled up by the takeup lever. Your discs may be held open. Are you sewing with the presser foot up?Bj139, quick ?, on my 15-91, I am having issues with the top thread bunching up underneath. I am not sure if it is the tension, or if something else is causing it. This is with v92, #18 needle, and a doubled up piece of 1” tubing. Trying to make my linesman loops. I was able to get one done, but on my second one, it keeps bunching up. I didn’t take pics, It seems to be looping up around bottom bobbin area. any thought? Lol

I practiced on fabric and webbing for about a month before I attempted a saddle. It seems safer to have your Covid mask fall apart than to fall out of a tree.
That's what I was thinking. I've brazed some steel in the past and it turned out nice. I'll think about it for a few days about the angle iron or brazing. Thanks.Another weld process that seems to work good on cast iron is brazing..... I've never done it so you'd have to research
I’ll go recheck some tension stuff. Thanks
The thread should pass freely through the eye. The needle should slide up and down the thread when held taught with a needle on it. I posted a photo where a size 20 needle had about the same size eye as a 22 although the diameters were different as they should be. I guess manufacturers vary or maybe needle types vary. I bought some embroidery needles at Joanns labeled as having extra large eyes.Tension was part of it, I went up to a size 20 needle, the 18 was pulling the thread funny after I looked closer.
