generally I just roll them on. start belt in return side of PTO and roll PTO/engine/pulley over to roll belt on and into groove. Some units have a square drive slot cut into the idler arms so you can stick in a ratchet drive and/or extension to help stretch the spring enough to get a belt on , and other times I can put a socket with a long breaker bar on a idler pulley nut to tension the spring and get belt loose enough to get it started in to the pulley grooves, etc.
