Does anyone know where I can buy treadmill drive belts in stores? I cant buy them online because I have no CC?

Question

My treadmill belt has worn down and I need a new one because my walking belt is slipping. Its a weslo cadence 80 treadmill.

Please help me!

You're not going to like the answer, but here goes.  First off, I wouldn't replace the belt.  I've seen a lot of Weslos and they aren't worth repairing in my opinion.  They are cheap treadmills with expensive parts and will most likely break again soon.

That being said, it's your treadmill and you can fix it if you want.  And to be honest, I've never seen a weslo treadmill outlast it's walking belt, so maybe your's is better than most.

Not having a CC, you can still by parts on ebay using a check, paypal or money order.  I know a lot of stores across the country, that sell parts, but I don't know of a chain that sells them everywhere, but it's possible Sears would order them for you.  If not, look up the website below, give the company a call and see if they will ship it to a sears or do the check/money order thing.

If you want to try something a little cheaper, just lube the belt(you can go to napa and buy lube 1183 if you can't get and actual treadmill lubricant) and then tighten it, there are 2 screws at the back of the walking platform, you'll need an allen wrench.

If you tighten it down and it still slips, it wasn't the walking belt anyway.  It's either the motor belt or the front roller.  The motor belt is only about 20 bucks, and the roller cost about the same as a walking belt, the good news is that both of them take less time to replace than the walking belt.

Best of luck to you.
