Yeah, I do the PTO first, then get it guided thru the two idler pulleys, then the main pulley on the mower deck using the method described.
If you loosen the belt tension nut to the end of the travel on its rod you can usually just roll the belt onto the mower deck pulley with your fingers as you hold it in the pulley and pull the belt along in the direction that would wind the belt onto the pulley.
