Deriz56, We just put a belt on a treadle. Son had to get a small board, pair of pliers, very small nail, and put a nail hole in the belt. First you have to put the belt around the wheel and the balance wheel, hold it taut and mark it, then you do the above. The belt is supposed to have a heavy staple in it to use. Use pliers to close the staple. I hope you can understand this.LOL
