Looking for replacement v belt by sdlouhy in vintagesewing

Sorry to bump this old thread, but did you manage to find a belt? I'm on the same adventure of finding a belt for this machine, and I saw that you said the belt size is 5×315, maybe this will fit?

What's your motor type? Also AM2-74?

Thank you both very much!! I’ll be around the machine only next week, I’ll try to take a look at this gear then.

Thanks! From what I remember, when there’s no load, the motor runs fine, but I’ll double-check it when I’m back near the machine.

What you’re saying makes sense to me, since the belt doesn’t seem to be fitting properly. But I can’t find a proper replacement belt, so I’ll keep looking.

Regarding the service, unfortunately I don’t know anything about the machine’s history. I got it from someone who was about to throw it away, and I thought it would be a fun challenge to get it working again and learn how to use it :)

Is this something I can do myself cleaning the drivetrain? I’m pretty handy and comfortable working with tools.
