The machine is about 30 years old. It was my mum's so I am reluctant to part with it. It worked fine last time I used it, now nothing works except the motor. I oiled the machine and took the side off to look at the drive belts.
I'll bet you have a jam from material scraps or thread. Remove the needle plate and check in the bobbin area.
If you are still having problems you may be able to receive help from the Toyota Company as most of these companies are very good about answering questions. Here is a site that you can either call or email and they also may have a manual for your machine.

If they do not have a free manual, here is a site that lists one for $7.00:

Hope someone can help me out. I have an older Toyota AD860. It was in the middle of switching needles then got a needle case error. I knew it was moving to #12 so I moved it, but still had issue. I found the sensor ring on the shaft was loose so I tightened it.
Now I think it is not sure where it is at. I get it to reset, but when I push start, it does a thread cut and errors again. Any ideas?There could be an adjustment needed to a nut behind the head on the machine. This blog gives more detail. www.digitsmith.com/
My Toyota 5000 fails to give me a straight stitch even when the stitch width is at 0. How can I fix that?
There are many reasons for uneven stitching. The most common reason for uneven stitches:
1. Old or inferior or unsuitable thread.
Use good quality threads
Has anyone broken this lever before and managed to get it repaired? I've spoken to a few people who have said they can't get the part and also checked for the part myself and can't find it anywhere.
Without knowing the make and model of the machine it makes it hard to find a piece that can be used. Replacing such a piece can be difficult and might prove a major challenge if you have never done anything like this before. Before trying to locate a new piece do you still have the broken piece that came off? I see it is plastic. If you still have this piece you might want to try some epoxy or even gorilla glue to try and glue the broken piece back on.

I have a Toyota RS2000 sewing machine. It is virtually jammed up. The needle and shuttle assembly seems clear, and when disengaging the clutch the motor runs freely. I presume there is a jam between motor and the sewing end. How do I get the covers off? I have removed all screws and the two sides are loose, but cannot be removed.

My Toyota sewing machine seems jammed. When I press the pedal it makes noises, but doesn't move.
Please help.
Check the machine for pieces of thread and/or fabric that may cause it to jam. Make sure it is oiled. Also check the wire to the foot pedal to make sure it isnt loose.
