Default still out of luck

Moved motor forward about 3/8". It helped with slippage but still not cutting it. I just looked at purchasing a 5959 belt on ebay and noticed on the ad that it said this belt is ....."Use with 6" driven with 7-9/16" to 7-5/8" center to center distance or with 7" driven with 6-13/16" to 6-7/8" center to center distance."

I have the 6" driven, and even after moving the motor forward, my center to center is only 7 1/4". What is wrong here? Am I supposed to have a 7" driven on this cart? Also i can still pull the belt tight on the driver and have a 1 1/2" space between the inside of the belt and the outside edge of the driven. This just looks crazy to me. Can i just get the same belt only 26"od instaed of 27.75" od?
