Yeah back the belt tension off take the belt off the pto on the engine release the quick latch on the front and see if you can get the back pushed up in there . I have push mine on with my feet most times, they can be a devil to get on there. Like others said looks like May b a bolt in there instead of a Frankenstein bolt, if so be best to get the correct bolt for it. Prob be best least how I do it is detach the deck then put mule drive/ deck hanger on first, then reattach the deck.
