Yardman 42 belt diagram - Mtd LAWN MOWER PART # 983-04162A-0638 DECK Assembly:SD 42" W

First is to check the belt diagram and make sure your belt is on the correct side of the engagement pulley. This would be the one on the left side of deck with a spring attached.

Yeah, these belts can seem impossible to figure out. There are idler pulleys that press against the back of the belt. The routing is sometimes not obvious. Do a search for your particular model.

Hi there. The only thing I can suggest is to download your manual at http://www.mtdproducts.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/OwnersCenterView?storeId=10500&catalogId=20500&langId=-1 It will show how the belts are routed. Hope this helps
