John deere lt160

The PTO usually has a clutch that has to be engaged so that you can select the PTO rotation setting. I had a problem like that on my tractor and all it needed was a little adjustment on the PTO clutch lever, so it could disengage the PTO gearbox properly.

Copy and paste this in your address bar and it should take you to a picture of how to route the belt

If you go to this website, it will be an owners manual for your machine. Should be a diagram in there. Surprised there is not a decal on your deck showing, but this should help. You may want to download and keep a copy for future reference. Very helpful info.
