MOst of the time you can not put a friction drive in a treadle because the pulley lacks the grove for the belt. But there is no saying that you cant find a handwheel that will work and then you can run it in a treadle.

So, Billy, would I just need to look for a White treadle handwheel with the groove. Then some kind of treadle irons, (any specific kind of irons?) Would that do it? I'd rather do that than replace the electrical parts. What is a reasonable price range to pay for complete treadle irons and a handwheel?
