Your plane is no newer than a type 8 and those were made around 1900. It could be earlier depnding on if it has certain patent dates and where they are. If you have room in front of the blade, move the frog forward. Here’s a picture of my type 15. The adjuster is close but no where near touching. That could be a replacement tote. It’s hard to tell, but it should work. If anything, the tote can be easily changed if necessary. The last thing I would do is modify the adjuster in any way. You can go to the hyperkitten site (just Google hyperkitten) and type and date your plane in a couple of minutes. Good luck with it.
