All the treadle belts will fit - I think they are about 72"s to begin with. You will have to adjust it for your treadle and cut off some before you attach the ends together. Most Singer treadles all take a normal Schmetz 15 x1 needle unless it is a Singer 9W, which takes a special needle. Have fun and post a picture for all of us to see!
