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.

Have you tried going to www.murray.com and then find a dealer. Call them and ask if it is right belt. If you have the old belt there should be number stamped on it. If you have the number and you can't find a belt try a mower repair shop and they can cross ref it and get new number if it has been changed.
Then when you put the new belt on 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.

let me know if this helps.
Thanks

You can download a manual for your Murray here:
Murray manual
This is in .pdf format so you must have Adobe Reader or equivalent available.
FYI: Murray remnants have been bought by Briggs & Stratton so engine parts are no problem, everything else is sketchy.

I found the diagram on the front of the package to be helpful.
