I wondered if it would be that simple. Thanks
Annie I just did it with a 1909 66-1 that had a modern (1940's I think) motor put on it. We did a motor-ectomy, put it in the treadle base, threaded the belt around the handwheel and she was in business. Took less than 20 minutes!!
Thanks to all for the encouragement. This motor is simply bolted onto the end of the machine, so it may take only 5 minutes. (4 1/2 to find the wide bladed screw driver!)
Oh, but I won't have a belt. See trip to town coming up!
