ROOKIE Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 OUR COUNTY PARK OPERATES AN 1860'S VILLAGE AND WITHIN THAT WE HAVE WHAT WE CALL A TOY BARN WHERE WE MAKE TOYS YOU MIGHT HAVE FOUND BEING MADE IN 1860. WE MAKE EVERYTHING WITH A PEDAL POWERED VELOCIPEDE WHICH DOES REMARKABLE QUALITY. HOWEVER, THE BELT THAT DRIVES THE SAW IS VERY WORN AND ABOUT TO BREAK. WE ARE IN NEED OF A SOURCE FOR ONE TO STAY IN BUSINESS. IT IS CALLED A VELOCIPEDE #2. THE MACHINE IS A REPRODUCTION AND WAS ORIGINALLY SUPPLIED BY " THE TOOL COMPANY" OF RAYMORE, MO. WE HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO CONTACT THEM. ANY HELP WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 I'm not positive but were the original belts leather? If so, check a local leather goods store. If I'm way off base here, just disregard my comment. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amazingkevin Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 (edited) Union Hill Antique Tools - Barnes # 2 Velocipede ... it takes a round belt, i did hear that a ladys stocking in an emergence will work as a fan belt on a car .

kywoodmaster Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 I agree with Dan. A local leather smith should be able to fab that for you. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loftyhermes Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 Search for sewing machine belts on ebay and Amazon, there's plenty about, It's what I use on my two Hobbies A1 treadle fret saws. happy scrolling Steve OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrTeckEd Posted October 2, 2019 Report Share Posted October 2, 2019 (edited) I'm looking too, is it a round or V belt? If a round belt would work there are places that still produce them for treadle sewing machines. I'll check back with that site a friend uses in a day or two.

OCtoolguy Posted October 2, 2019 Report Share Posted October 2, 2019 You'd be surprised at how many places without electricity still use treadle sewing machines etc so finding a belt should not a be a problem. Have you tried just doing a google/bing search? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappile Posted October 2, 2019 Report Share Posted October 2, 2019 Looks like this started in June 2015... Originator has not been here since then, made two posts and left us. jbrowning, OCtoolguy and JimErn 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
