Lionel log loader new belt installation.

Assuming you refer to the 364 Conveyor Lumber Loader you can look here.

You also can google "how to replace belt lionel 364 lumber loader"  Can't say for sure, I've got the modern repro, but belt replacement should be similar whether original or repro.

Thanks a heap much Pete!

The new belts are too slick. Buy a can if 3M spray adhesive at the auto parts store and hang the belt from an old hanger and give it a light coat, then leave dry thoroughly.

Obtain old style black friction tape and wrap one layer around the large black plastic wheel. I have an original 364 loader to which I applied the friction tape more than 15 years ago, and the amount of grip is still good. The old style friction tape has just the correct amount of grip to pull the belt and then release the belt as it comes around the wheel.

I used spray on belt dressing, from NAPA. It is mainley used for flat belts in farming or industry. Sprayed a small amount on a "Q" Tip and held it to the backside of the belt while under power, with the unit assembled. Of course since you have it apart you can probably do a better job without the power.

    Also used it on the small rubber belt in my Saw Mill.
