Billy, can I make a 66-6 (belt driven motor, not a spoked handwheel) into a treadle machine head? The handwheel is solid, but it does take the belt off the motor. So, just take off the electric gagets and put the treadle belt on it in place of where the electric one goes now? Seems too simple, what am I missing.... ?[/quote]

I'm not Billy, but yes you can! I treadle Singers 15-90 & 237,both had a belt driven motor and a solid handwheel.
They treadle with no problems. Of course a treadle cabinet
is needed.
