Answered my own question this afternoon...

Stopped by Napa on the way home from work and they offer two belt tension
testers.  Model KR1 is for testing regular v-belts from 50 to 150 pounds of
tension, $9.99 and model KR2 is for testing v-ribbed belts from 100 to 300
pounds of tension, $12.49.  The model KR1 is appropriate for IH vehicles.

Happy holidays,

John
