46" Craftsman Lawn Tractor Belt replacement?

Does anyone have a picture of how to replace the belt that slipped off a 46" deck Craftsman Lawn Tractor(20hp) model 917.273022? Unfortunately the manual has been misplaced ...I'm sure it'll turn up as soon as the tractor is replaced :)

Craftsman Garden Tools, Lawn Mowers Lawn Belt Replacement

I found my manual at "http://www.hammerwall.com/Download_Manual/37795/" even thou the file number is not 917.273022 when you download the PDF file the cover show that it is the right manual for model 917.273022.

The manual does not say how long the belts are, but here are the part numbers from the manual.
Power to rear wheels - 140218
Mower Deck Primary - 148763
Mower Deck Secondary - 144959

You should a course check this information with a sears parts man.

I hope this helps all of you
