Re: Suggestion on shrinking a small rubber belt?

My vacuum cleaner has an attachment that has a small beater brush. The
brush is driven by the airflow from the vacuum itself, turning a wheel
that pulls a small rubber drive belt, that turns the beater brush.

Is it a Hoover? That little beater brush is freaky, can't believe it
spins so fast. I use it to vacuum my cat.

When I started analyzing things, it turns out that the belt has
stretched out to the point of uselessness.

I'm sure that Sears would sell me a new attachment for $50. I'm sure
that with a lot of homework, I could find a replacement belt, but I'm
not really in the mood to do that homework.

If it's a Hoover, it says the belt is part no. 38528037, $4.99 from
their website.
