Belt size, HELP!!!

[toppop52]

I have a Craftsman zero turn model number 107.277720, secondary deck drive belt number 1727869SM. It's for a 44" deck. My problem is a stick wedged the outside blade and wore the belt in two before I could shut down and I don't know how much length I burned away. What's left is around 81", one hint I found indicates it could be n 83" belt, but frankly I don't know and don't want to pay Sears $55 and change plus shipping for a $20 belt.

Thanks, Sears did slip up and put the number 83.1 in their part number listing and I suspected that was it, normally they hide any info that might send you to Tractor Supply. I'll get the new one asap.
