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.

My parts man said it was easy to install the large belt. Before I tackled the job I checked online (here) and it looked very scary. I was told there was a diagram on the blade carriage, and the was. All you need to do is disengage blade drive, lower blade carriage and follow the diagram. no need to unscew or loosen anything. No tools required!

SOURCE: Sears Craftsman riding mower V belt getting chewed

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.

What is the belt configeration for a Craftsman 917.254214 ride on mower?

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
