This video shows several belt patterns for various mowers. I am assuming you are wanting the deck belt and not the drive belt. 4 seconds into the video is the standard craftsman 42 inch belt path. The belt at the bottom is put on the engine pulley. Tip from my own experince make sure that the belt is under the belt guides or you will ruin a belt in short order. Your model number is under the seat and is also a scanable barcode. Another tip is to snap a photo of your model numbers. This is handy when you need parts. More accurate and readable than writing it down. Riding Mower Deck Belt Diagram DIY
Are you asking what size belt to use or are you asking what other size belt, like you want to use one a little smaller or a little larger? If that is the case, what difficulty are you having that you would need to do that? Did you put a Craftsman deck on a Poulan or something odd like that?
I believe you may have the belt over one or more of the belt retainers next to the pulleys. They are 5 or 6 inches long and about a 1/4 inch in diameter. You have to loosen them when you put the belt on then adjust them to where they are just barely touching the back of the belt. They keep the belt from jumping off.
Assuming you mean the deck belt, since you don't specify, it is part number 144200 The same as Craftsman. AYP, Poulan, and several others. You can purchase it at most sears stores or order it on line
