Belt diagram for a Craftsman 42" riding lawn mower
there are as many belt diagrams as there are mowers. You will need your model number to get the correct diagram. You should find this under the seat or on the very back of the unit. sorry can't help more at this time, when you get this, you can get online and go to sears and you will find it there.

Last fall this mower would stop at irregular intevals , sometimes after 5 minutes , sometimes not at all during the job . When it stopped it would turn over but would not start . Fifteen minutes or so later it would start . Had it running once during the winter just to charge the battery but now it again turns over but will not start .
I believe I checked it once last fall during the non starting period and found no spark at the spark plug .
Try this,follow the positive battery to the part it's attached to,that's what is bad,remove it and take to Lowe's,they have one and it's not expensive.

smoke coming out when i engage the blades
Most likely the mower belt is rubbing and causing this. But don't try to find it with the mower running! With the engine off, lower the deck and inspect the mower belt for worn or burnt spots. The problem isn't the belt, though. Look under the mower deck - is a branch or other object stuck in there? Get it out, and replace the belt if it's badly burnt.
If it's not a stuck object, than you probably have a frozen spindle (the bearings that hold the mower blades) or idler pulley. Remove the belt and spin each of these by hand to find the problem. The pulleys are not expensive, but the spindles are. I hope it's just a branch. Good luck! Please rate if helpful, thanks!

This year at some point the engaged blades became very loud. I have bought new blades, but it is still loud when I engage the blades. When I put on the new blades I made sure to clean out the deck. Any suggestions? It is a 48" deck with 3 blades.
With blades on and engine off reach under and wiggle each blade up and down. If you have excess play you will need bearings.

How do I install the deflector shield on a Craftsman riding mower, model # 917.288031?
Hi and welcome to FicYa, I am Kelly.
You will need to make sure that you have items 21 - 29 of this diagram: Scroll way down 75% until you see the deck and belt, then look at item 27 the deflector shield.
http://www.hammerwall.com/Manuals/Craftsman/Description/917.288031/Craftsman%20Lawn%20Tractor%2017.5%20HP%2042%20Inch%20Mower%206%20Speed/L0807249/
It is a matter of sliding the bolt throught bracket on the mower deck and making sure that the shield safety switch is actuated. (Flip up)
I also read the owner's manual (no help!). The only thing about the shield is on page 14 stating to make sure it is in place.
If your missing the hardware to install the deflector shield you can go to http:www.searspartsdirect.com and enter your model number in the search bar. You have to choose model search then click (go).
You will get this diagram if you choose mower deck:
