Go to sears parts direct and when you put in your model number it will show you routing for both drive and deck belt.

Are you saying you are replacing the small belt under the battery that has 2 small and one very large pulley on the run ?
If so that is the top belt of a 2 belt system and generally I replace them in pairs.
Also they must be original or at least OEM belts, as they are a totally different shape to a normal V belt.
Pop your numbers into Parts tree or Jacks small engines and bring up the entire transmission diagram.
Craftsman usually have the belt routing on a sticker under the left foot board
