Kountrykreation, if you have a 1914 Model 66 with a motor, it must be a friction motor and belt? The 1914's should have been a treadle but a lot of people were so enamored with electricity when it became readily available to most people in the 20's and 30's that they added a motor to their treadles. Those belts are easily attained from most sewing repair shops, on-line, e-bay, etc. I'd measure your belt before ordering/picking up the belt. Good luck!

I haven't read to the end of the posts, but was wondering if anyone caught this? A friction motor is just that, no belt. I was out riding and realized what I had said --- !!!! If your machine has a belt it is not a friction motor, but a system like the FW's have - a motor with a belt attached to turn the wheel! Sorry, the rest of my post applies, though!
