Greetings all!

I inherited a Toyota 820A recently, but it had heavy cigarette smoke damage. I have disassembled, cleaned, and am currently reassembling the machine.

Thus far, I can find little information regarding the hook timing and needle bar adjustment. I have ran the machine briefly without a needle to ensure it works, all seems well...

I understand the general procedure for timing the hook, (from YouTube and an AD830 manual i stumbled across) but I can't find information or any markings for the timing mark on this machine.

I realize its a long shot, most folks seem to hold this information near and dear to their heart.

If anyone has any information on the hook timing and setting needle depth procedure, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks for looking!

We have a toyota 830 at our shop and still have most of the original manuals. I don't know if timing the 830 is the same as the 820 you have.

Does the 830 manual you found get into timing?

Hey Printsfordays-
Thanks for responding! I was mistaken. The manual I have is for the 850.
My machine doesn't seem to have an indicator for the degrees of rotation needed to set the depth and time.
I would welcome your manual to have a look for sure!

Thanks!
