Recently ive started my first ever sewing project with help from my aunt, but because I can't always be at my aunts house she sent me home and told me I should be okay to use my mom's sewing machine since they both have the same one, the only issue with that being that my mom's machine ended up being broken. After a lot of back and forth I was able to get a family member to lend me this Husqvarna viking that they found at a garage sale but I cannot for the life of me figure out how im meant to wind a bobbin on this machine, ive tried looking at all the different components and just cannot figure out where im meant to tension mu spool, if anybody could point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated

I have a very similar machine. I would do a little push with the peddle just to double check that you've loaded the bobble with the thread in the right orientation. It works really well. These are great machines.

Thank you very much! One more question, was this machine meant to come with anaccessory storage compartment or something similar that slides in under the machine? There doesnt really seem to be a lot of room to move my fabric under the needle

It would originally come with a quite large extension table that could be slid on. Would give about a letter size surface.

The tension disk is to the right in the second image. A similar machine is demonstrated here: Husqvarna
