Answer 1

here is the web site but you need the model & serial #'s to look up the owners mannuels.

There should just be a plastic cover over the belt (ontop of the deck) holding it on should be a few bolts/screws. You might have to loosen up one of the pullys to get the belt on then re-tighten it once it's on.

Answer 2

Start by removing mowing deck.  I would push it up on 2x4 blocks, this will give you a couple more inches height, making it easier to work.  Put blocks under wheels so it will not roll.  Take a lot of pictures with your digital camera, before removing the old belt.  If you need to know how the old belt was on you can look at pictures.  Also take pictures of how mowing deck is attached.  Once you take the mower deck it kind of straight forward.  You can also download information from manufacture web site.  You can do it

Good Luck
