Changing the belt on the swisher 44' rough cut - mine is a model RTB134412v. You have to remove the belt guard (4 bolts) and then the 6 bolts holding the engine on to the deck. Lift (or tilt) the engine up and loop the 1/2"x50" belt (I got a husky replacement belt at tractor supply) through the wire belt guides and around the engine belt drive. Then loop the belt around the larger blade drive. It takes about 30 mins or so. Hope that helps.
I just replaced the belt on my 44" Trailmower and since I had to get it up and running without waiting for new Swisher 4220 belt I found an ordinary V-belt 1/2"X72" whith overall with of 74" works OK
Check that you have routed the belt correctly. Did you happen to go to the outside of the idler? Also is the belt the correct size requiring the idler to put tension on the belt to drive it Belt should be loose when idler is disengaged.. See sketch:
