Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): JD 180 Deck Belt, spindles, snag

Question
What is the correct config. of this belt?  The deck has 4 pulleys.  The drive, the two blade spindles, and a flat idler.

Answer
Hello Chad:

The Best Way I Know to Tell you is to Remember that the Flat Idler is Designed to Rest and Ride Against the Flat Side of the Belt and the V Pulleys are Designed to Ride the V Side of the Belt. I Looked at the JD Site and the Breakdown Does Not Show a Good Belt Routing Diagram. If you Hit a Snag or this Does Not Correct the Problem,  I am Here if You Require More Assistance. Hope this Helps. Let me Know What Happens, Please. May the All Mighty Bless You and Yours. Thanks.

Good Luck
