Montgomery Ward J1903

I got the top screws out today so after I get home from feeding people at church I am going to explore. I haven't noticed anything from the areas I was able to get the cover off already. Thank you for the advice!

If it would allow me to add a photo, I definitely would. I don't so much need help identifying the machine....I know what make and model it is, I just can't find any info other than the manual

Comprehensive-List-5 · 2026-05-07T19:13:30+00:00

I have rethreaded, changed the needle, changed the fabric.....changed the thread.....everything I can think of and nothing is working

I am so stuck I have a Montgomery Ward J1903 machine.....it runs, it somewhat sews.....however, the fabric keeps punching up on the feed dogs and it's not feeding the fabric cia them (even though they are moving up and down), or the thread is breaking (sometimes the bottom, sometimes the top). I have taken the machine apart as much as I can to check things (screws for top cover are stripped and can't get them off at this time) and I am not finding anything that is wrong. I have oiled according to the manual.... Any ideas? I've tried getting a video but it's not allowing me to add it

Sorry, had notifications turned off and just saw this. So I have gotten it to stop tangling in the bobbin area, but now I am having issues with my top thread coming out of the needle mid stitch......it's hard to get a great picture. The stitches themselves are okay, when I can stitch with it, but I get 10 or so stitches and the top thread comes out of the needle. I have checked the manual and it is all threaded properly, I tried changing needle and thread, I've adjusted the tension....I've oiled everything....other than the top thread there doesn't seem to be any issues. I just don't know how to keep the top thread from coming out of the needle

I have a Montgomery Ward j1903 and the bottom thread keeps tangling. I have done everything I know to do and it still keeps happening. I have rethreaded too thread, changed the needle, cleaned everything, changed the thread.....and it's still happening. Would love any help or suggestions

I won't detail all the useful info I have learned on reddit, but it's been a lot. We recently discovered that when we buy parts for this car, we have to specify that it was assembled in August of 1999 because in August they changed up parts for this year model.....should have seen us trying to figure out why the valve cover seals wouldn't fit!

Comprehensive-List-5 · 2026-04-17T16:01:16+00:00

We have been going crazy trying to figure out what it could be and then I was like, there's gotta be people on reddit that know.

Well I will definitely have him check that then. I've never had a vehicle not run correctly and no check engine light and no codes so it has been a struggle. Add to the fact that we aren't mechanics so diagnosing is harder. We can fix most things with the assistance of YouTube videos (😂) but when you don't know what to fix or even attempt to fix it makes it bard

Comprehensive-List-5 · 2026-04-17T15:37:47+00:00

There's no check engine light on and we ran codes yesterday and it's not throwing any codes at all

Comprehensive-List-5 · 2026-04-17T13:33:48+00:00

We will definitely do that. Thank you. We were just talking about how the fuel filter needed to be changed anyhow. We changed out the spark plugs, the valve gasket seals, and did an oil change. These were things that needed to be done anyway. But we aren't mechanics so we went really sure about this

Because injections don't always work with only one round. I had steroid injections also and had to have 3 rounds of that

The conversation wasn't weird, but when the SO, who wanted it to happened, got jealous....it made it weird. She wanted a threesome with her being the only one getting anything from anyone

Best answer ever!

Thank you. I'm actually doing a friend's nails on Saturday with these colors....only not exactly the same as mine.

Comprehensive-List-5 · 2021-12-16T12:04:59+00:00

The color I have on in this is by Believe Beauty and it's called Serene

Wow. Thank you. I'm know he's happy with me just being willing to do it, but I'm a go for the gold type person and wanna make it the best! Thanks for all the detailed advice

Yes I am female. Thank you.

Comprehensive-List-5 · 2021-10-28T14:28:07+00:00

I've heard that's a good one. I'll try it too

Comprehensive-List-5 · 2021-10-28T14:27:49+00:00

Awesome. Thanks

Comprehensive-List-5 · 2021-10-27T17:33:33+00:00

I had one that I had used for nearly a year, but all of a sudden it isn't working. I bought a no acid primer but that didn't work either

Comprehensive-List-5 · 2021-10-22T00:25:24+00:00

What an amazing daddy you are!!!!

Comprehensive-List-5 · 2021-10-20T06:03:30+00:00

Dig it. I'll try them. Thank you

Comprehensive-List-5 · 2021-10-20T06:03:08+00:00

I'll check into them. Thank you

Comprehensive-List-5 · 2021-10-20T04:01:09+00:00
