Members Antonella Posted November 25, 2019 Members Report Posted November 25, 2019 Hi Guys! Can I convert a potted 201-2 motor to a belted motor? thanks! xo A Quote
kgg Posted November 25, 2019 Report 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
Members Antonella Posted November 25, 2019 Author Members Report 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
CowboyBob Posted November 25, 2019 Report Posted November 25, 2019 We sell these conversion parts to the Amish all the time,yes,you need a spoked wheel & you will also need a bobbinwinder approx. $20.00 + shpg. Quote
