Go to www.searspartsdirect.com. Put in your model number, you read from under the seat, and it will give you a parts list and diagrams you are looking for this mower.

Look up under the foot boards on the tractor, Sears usually puts the diagram of the routing for both belts under there.

If you can not locate those stickers, look in your Owner's Manual, the parts section will have a picture of what the belt looks like when it is installed.

If you don't have the owners manual or simply don't know where you put it, look under the seat, get the Model number for the tractor that begins with 917. then go to searspartsdirect.com enter the full model number and download the parts manual and in most cases you can also download an Owners Manual as well.

SOURCE: need a diagram for a sears craftsman 42 inch deck drive belt and

I don't have a deck diagram but you should be able to figure it out it you put the back part of the belt (flat) up against the pulleys that are wide and the narrow part (v) into the smaller pulleys. It might take a couple of times but it is not that hard to figure out. Also put the (flat) side of the belt on any tension idlers. Hope this works.

How do I change out the primary belt on a Craftsman 17.5 hp 42" mower? The new belt is around the pulleys but it is very loose.

This belt is easist to install with the deck all the way down. Make sure there are no burrs on any of the pulleys, (will eat up your new belt in short order), also make sure that the 2 drive pulleys for the blades turn freely, (may have grass impacted around them, you may need to remove the 2 guards on top of the deck to clean, (if they do not spin eaisly). Triple check to make sure the belt is properly routed, one mistake and your belt is broken as soon as you engage. With the engine OFF, engage blades to check tension. If the belt is still loose, you likely have it routed incorrectly.

Craftsman 42 inch deck won't run

Check proper belt routing. These models are a little tricky. Also check tensioner spring.
