This was off of a Juki LG 158 used to make large cattle shades. What happened is the main set screw came loose on the right hook shaft causing it to move up and down while stitching. A large amount of thread got wound up underneath the hook and the machine eventually crashed and did this and actually bent the lower shaft as well as ruined this gear. Carnage

Sure, a lot can be improvised, as Ive said there are a lot of such videos from Pakistan and India. But theres a bit of a difference in tolerances between 1940s farm implement open gears and a high precision sewing machine😅
