Can you skew the mounting of the motor at all to give you a little breathing room as the belt crosses itself?
What about a different belt?
Not your regular powertwist v belt, maybe round in cross section, a rubberized rope, tarred rope.... Thinking out loud here.
This is a temp solution to get you turning for this weekend's work/sales. You can get the motor rewired at your leisure later.. Or, things are different IRL.
