Dan, Mower deck belt diagram /replacement links below. "I hope this helped you out, if so let me know by pressing the helpful button. Check out some of my other posts if you need more tips and info."
Also see if you can locate the mower deck model number i.e STX 38, STX 42 (Deck color Black or Yellow?) Should be a silver decal with black lettering. Also... there is supposed to be a belt routing diagram on the mower deck. (Another silver decal with the belt routing picture)
do you remember the routing of the belt? there should be a diagram on the deck somewhere - best thing to do is rout the belt while the deck is lowered, leaving the loop at the front to put around drive pully on bottom of engine. once that is all hooked up, there are deck adjusters on either side of the deck - that you can adjust to relieve some of the tension on the belt - turn the adjusters clockwise to tighten, counterclockwise to loosen - let me know if this helps or if u need more info - i have a 10 year old 42" deck tractor out in my barn and if need be, tomorrow i will walk u through - online how to adjust the deck
make sure you have the right belt and then it should be fairly easy to route the belt if you put the back of the belt (flat side) up against the larger in height idler pulleys and the smaller (v) in the smaller pulleys. The belt should be snug when on properly.
