How does the belt route on my snowblower 36"

[jimmystractor 171]

I have a 7117 and a 36" snowblower. I think the blower is model 169033. I'm trying to figure out how the belt runs...can anyone help? Much appreciated!

First question, does the hitch for it have one pulley on it, or two?

If two you would have to have a front PTO on the tractor, not normally found on a 7100 series.

If one pulley, the belt will be quite long and runs all the way to the center pto, and is run like the mower deck. On the one idler pulley in at the center PTO, there is two places it can be bolted. Those two locations change the angle of the pulley. That will need to be moved to the hole that more properly lines up the pulley with the front of the tractor instead of the mower deck.
