If you look at the pullies, they are a bit cup shaped. Thicker in the middle than on either side. As a belt wants to wander off to one side, this cup shape will naturally make the belt want to return to the middle of the pulley.
The tear on your belt affects this some, perhaps, and is why I qurestion if it is causing the weaving of the belt. One side of your belt is not as tight as the other side with the torn splice.
As to cutting out 3 feet, that is a puzzle.
A long belt was used to give the belt enough weight to not need an idler pulley. Just the weight of the belt keeps it on the pulleys heavy enough to keep friction up.
On a short belt like my setup with the saw mounted on the front of the tractor, their is a big heavy idle pulley to take up the belt slack when it pulls hard.
You belt looks kind in between on the length as it is, donno what to say on that?
