Anyway, I would love to know how to thread it and where to find a new belt for it.

Look at the Adler! I'd love to have this machine, but won't pay that price!

I bought a treadle last night. The plate says "Domestic" S.M. Co
Pat. May 19 1863
Nov. 15 1864
Jan. 31 1871
NEW YORK
Under that is:
41675
It has a requtangluar bed. Any guesses? Coffin lid has a chunk of wood missing but the drawers are there. So of the pearl inlay is missing.

Thank you Ms Johnny for the info to use the Singer 12. But, the bobbin in this machine doesn't have the little holes to thread. Still trying to figure it out.
Here are some pictures, I put a piece of tape on the little lever at the bobbin winder to show that it flips from right to left to lock the bobbin winder. On the hand wheel it has a button that you move to lock the wheel or loosen it to wind the bobbin. (something new to me). We can not find any numbers or dates any where on the machine or the irons. It has a wooden pitman rod and no skirt guard. If any of you have any ideas let us know.
