48 " Mower Deck Belt Cub Cadet

[GTSRider]

I just did a dumb thing.... and removed by cutting the old
original belt on my 48" deck.... to replace with a new one.
This is a drive shaft deck with ONE continuous belt.
Anyone know where I can see a diagram of this belt placement ?
I should have taken a pic.... but I trusted my memory, and now can
not figure it out.
Thanks ,
Pete

It wraps around the deck like in this attached picture. This should give you enough info?

Yes ...that's it ...thanks !
Looks like I got some work ahead of me....
and need to remove shaft gear box bolts and some bracket bolts as belt must go UNDER brackets.... ugh..... nothing made simple.....
with 10 years of rust I hope they loosen without breaking.

All went surprisingly well.
Only shaft mounting bolts need to be removed.
A good thing as there was rust and debris under shaft gearbox.
Cleaned and treated that area with a rust inhibitor, and re- assembled.
Now good for many years to come.
Thanks for your help.
