The windshaft carries a brake wheel which has 59 teeth. This drives a wallower with 30 teeth. The wallower is at the top of the upright shaft, which has a great spur wheel at its bottom. This has 86 teeth. It drives two stone nuts, which drive the millstones. The stone nuts have 24 and 26 staves respectively. The millstones are driven overdrift.{{cite web |url=https://www.molendatabase.nl/nederland/molen.php?nummer=313 |title=Bellingwolde, Groningen |publisher=Molendatabase |language=nl |access-date=5 April 2017}}
