Antonella Report post Posted November 25, 2019 Hi Guys! Can I convert a potted 201-2 motor to a belted motor? thanks! xo A Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kgg Report post Posted November 25, 2019 The short answer is yes. Most of the Singers 201's you find in North America are the pot mounted gear driven version (201-2). There were other version of the 201 which were hand cranked (201-4) or belt driven motor (201-3). A good location to look at a 201-2 to 201-3 conversion would be ( https://www.flickr.com/photos/kpinkert/sets/72157622825563869/) or search Treadling a Singer 201-2. If you wanted too you could put a servo motor and or a reducer on it. Hope this helps. kgg Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Antonella Report post Posted November 25, 2019 (edited) Thanks Kgg, I don’t want to treadle. It looks by the photos that I could just trade out the fly wheel to a spoked one? Edited November 25, 2019 by Antonella Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
