Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Belt routing for craftsman, driveshaft, pulleys


Question
Can you give me a belt routing diagram for a Craftsman 19 horse, 42 inch  riding mower.  Model # 42A 707?

Thanks

Answer
Hi Misty,

Sorry, I don't have or know of where to get one.  All I can say is to look at the blades to see which way they should rotate.  Look at the driveshaft for the same.  Then install the belt so all the pulleys turn correctly.  The back side of the belt usually goes around a spring loaded idler pulley.

Good Luck.
