Good eyes.

Perhaps - skate board wheels would do on some things...

Well, I stripped the old rubber tire off the wheel, and ran a belt
with the drive wheel naked. This seems to work. I will run it like
this until the wheel wears out or slips. When and if this no longer
works, I will try the rubber tape or just make a new drive wheel.
Thanks everyone for your suggestions.

I also have a Delta 42 inch belt sander. The rubber on both the drive
and idle wheels came off. Keep your eyes open. I found a couple of
plastic wheels of the same size in the dumpster of a auto hobby shop.
I had to make a new shaft so I could use one for the idle wheel. I
think they came off a auto engine and kept tension on a serpntine
belt.
