Singer Genie Starlet 353 354 Sewing Machine Top Gear Replacement Shortcut

Replace broken plastic top gear on Singer Genie Starlet 353 354 Sewing Machine without removing main horizontal arm shaft.

The Genie/Starlet machines have a top gear (vertical shaft gear) made out of plastic that sits right below the main horizontal arm shaft. This plastic gear deteriorates over time causing it to eventually break into pieces. Without a functioning top gear the hook stops spinning and the machine will no longer sew.

The service manual for this machine says to partially remove the horizontal arm shaft to gain access to the broken top gear.

This video shows that the top gear can be accessed by removing various parts, specifically the feed dog fork so that the top gear can be accessed via the side of the machine.

Unfortunately I didn't take any video because I didn't know if I was going to be successful. But I did take plenty of pictures so that I would know how to put it all back together.
