You would probably want to braze in a replacement piece.

How do you convert a flat belt drive to a v belt drive? Get a v belt pully for the electric motor and place the v belt on the flat belt pully.

Unless this is a type that uses belt slip as the speed control mechanism then you need a flat belt pully for your electric motor and rig the treadle to take up slack with the new power source location in mind.
