The beater brush will no longer drive under a load on short pile carpet
Have you tried changing the height adjustment? There should be a knob or lever that allows you to adjust the height of the beater brush to accommodate different carpet lengths. Even with a new belt, the brush will not spin if the height is too low. Try adjusting it all the way up, then while it is running, adjust it down until there is some resistance. The beater brush should just barely scrape the top of your carpet.

Riccar RL 624
Have you used a voltmeter to make absolutely sure that the unit is receiving electricity? Highly unlikely that BOTH the lamp and the motor will go bad at same time. Need to carefully trace the electricity down because there has to be some junction that is stopping everything.

Riccar 515, when making buttonholes, it will not zig zag in reverse
take the bobbin out and make sure it's not warped
make sure it's wound correctly
make sure the bobbin is inserted correctly into the bobbin case and that the bobbin case is inserted correctly, if it's a side or front loading machine
also could be a problem with the gear, they might be damaged or broken,, if you keep having the problem, have the machine checked
Riccar sewing machine 606 super stretch wont turn all the way
Older machines usually suffer from dried up oil and a build up of fuzz and lint. You'll need to do some serious cleaning and oiling. Look for trapped threads between moving parts. Use "liquid wrench" to clean capture drips and allow to soak for a bit. Then wipe down and use a good sewing machine oil. Also if you mean that the needle is hitting something... that means the machine is out of time and needs to be timed. I've tried to look up the manual for this but haven't found anything free for download. However there is a "608" that should at least give you some hints on what to do for your machine, oil points etc. Get cleaned and oiled up really well... then if you still have bindinding issues check the timing. http://www.riccar.com/ftp/whitepapers/608_Instruction_Manual.pdf
What size belt do I need for this vacuum?
The most durable long lasting belt is available from your Riccar dealer. A Panasonic belt will fit but will need to be replaced more often. All belts should be changed at least once or twice per year.
How to replace Simplicity vac brush roll strips?
The caps will come out of the end of the metal roller. They can be difficult if it's been a long time as dirt and grime can build up. Try sticking a flat head screwdriver in and gently twisting to get the caps to slide out.
