Call Timberking.  If they don't still have them they may know who has a supply.

There is very little on a Belsaw that a clever lad cannot reproduce with simple metalworking tools, they are the model "T" of sawmills. There are a lot around hopefully someone has what you need. Frank C.

Timberking no longer carries Belsaw parts.  Belsaws are simple and common machines, you should be able to make of find parts.

When I brought my M-14 home several years ago I called Timberking and they sent me the set up manual for the Belsaw.  In the manual you will find part numbers for the belts and other parts they are still used today.  I bought several parts from Timberking when they had them available.  I was able to find several bearing part numbers on the original parts that my local bearing supply had. This manual is still out there on the internet. This is a very simple design using off the shelf parts if you want to spend the time.  Good luck.
