Kenmore motors seldom fail and when they do they are easy to replace. Kenmore motors are not only powerful (this one is 1.2 amps) but they restore with great results. Commutator before polishing Commutator after polishing
The commutator and the armature shafts are polished, the brushes are reconditioned, and the felt wicks are charged with oil. Feed dogs engaged Feed dogs disengaged… notice the drop in the split sleeve This will be repeated at various points in the restoration just to ensure they operate properly. The mechinaism is repeatedly exercised by hand until it drops under gravity (helped by a small spring in the mechanism). This is followed by sewing machine oil to keep it lubricated. To keep the oil varnish from reforming, WD40 is used at the joints to dissolve and replace the old oil varnish. Don’t worry about the machine though, because the oil varnish melts at a low temperature and the heat is localized. The heat melts the old oil varnish and frees the mechanism quickly. I use a butane torcn with a small flame applied to the feed dog assembly. While it is a common problem, the mechanism is not amenable to complete (or any) disassembly. The feed dog mechanisn is fairly complex, closely fit, buried deep in the machine and very difficult to get to. Because many Kenmores are stored unused for long periods of time (often years), there is ample time for the old oil to dry out and leave oil varnish behind. I suspect the reason for this is because the feed dogs are seldom (if ever) dropped. On a majority of Kenmores of this vintage, the feed dogs are stuck in place and won’t drop. These parts are set aside until reassembly. However, the cleaning of the needle bar and the presser foot bar is followed by polishing to a glass smooth finish, Before polishing After polishing I decided to clean each part by hand for this restoration by using a dremel tool and wire wheel. Next, the rear cover, the motor, and the motor pulley mechanism is removed and all of the parts are laid out for cleaning. Then, the bottom cover is removed to reveal the motor and the sewing mechanism. Next the bobbin, bobbin case, bobbin race cover and feed dogs are removed. Fortunately, there is nothing left that can’t be cleaned in place. There are pieces that cannot be removed because pinchwashers are used. The restoration begins with disassembly of the parts in the needle bar head. Here is the machine before the restoration… Mechanical Restoration The needle bar adjustment has been changed and as a result the machine will not sew now, but that isn’t a problem in the end. Aside from surface dirt and stains, the body of the machine and the mechanical parts are in very good shape. This particular model 1914 is a beautiful example of a vintage Kenmore.

It is also a cam compatible machine, has a stitch modifier control, and a seperate setting for making manual buttonholes. The machine includes 11 built in stitches, some of which are stretch stitches which make it perfect for garment construction. The 1914 uses Kenmore’s proprietary high shank feet and is a left homing needle machine. Stitch selection and stitch width are tucked under the top cover. For example, the top tension control is not a knob dial located on the front of the sewing machine but instead is controlled by a horizontal dial built into the front face of the sewing arm. The model 1914 is quite a departure from most of the other machines in the 158 sewing machine series.

The front end of the bed can be detached to reveal a free arm for sewing cuffs and such. Otherwise, every other component in the machine is made of steel or aluminum alloy.
well, the top motor belt pulley is made of plastic, but it has proven to be durable and seldom a problem in machines despite its age. Manufactured by Maruzen Sewing Machine Company, it was made in Japan, and it is a high quality all metal sewing machine, Because of its quality and capabilities, it is a very desirable model with a very good following.
