Pull a string around the pulleys, and mark the length.  Take the string to a
local, independent auto parts store (not one of the big chains) and explain.
They'll let you try several belts until you find one that fits.  The string
will, of course, be shorter than the belt you need (because the string lays
in the bottom of the vee while the belt has to ride against the sides) but
only by an inch or so.
