How to Put on a 2448 Mower Deck Belt

The Husqvarna YTH 2448 riding lawnmower uses a mowing deck, hung from the bottom of the riding tractor with two rods connected to the middle of the deck and a bracket that secures the front of the deck to the tractor. The belt, wraps around a set of pulleys on the top of the mower deck. This is a good DIY project for the average homeowner as the tools involved for replacement are basic.
