Question edited for a lot more clarity. Your model number didn't show any hits on Google, because there were no spaces in the model number and no maker included.
All questions need 'make model (what it is)' as first 3 words please.

Various manuals on the Montgomery Ward Manuals site, but not that exact model. Pick one that is close.

Your Montgomery Ward UHT J265A sewing machine is breaking thread because of incorrect thread tension, dull needle, low-quality thread, lint or debris buildup or incorrect threading. It is best to check the threading, thread quality, needle and clean the machine.

Question edited to add some UPPER Case letters.

J283 only

The needle size depends on whatever thread and fabric you use.
