Question
I have a John Deere Lx 188 with a 38" snowthrower attachment i'm replacing the drivebelt and i 'm looking for a belt diagram i have it put together but the auger is going backwards i guessing i've got the belt routed wrong.

Answer
Did you read the JD Installation manual?

A good rule of thumb on belt installs is the V part of the belt goes inside of V shaped pulleys and the flat or back side of the belt goes on flat face shaped pulleys...this has helped me a lot over time.

Let me know if the manual helps.
