Take the deck off. loosen the radiator, lean it back. I don't take the nuts all the way off the bottom. Remove all 3 bolts from the flange on the back and then work the belt in. Of course you'll also have to loosen the dynamo and slide it all the way in to get the belt around it. If the deck is off, you can service it while it's off AND you can crawl under the tractor to get to the flange bolts on the drive shaft.
After taking the deck off the three bolts are easily accessible from below.
Taking the radiator out makes it possible to work from above but I would only do that if you plan to change the coolant anyway or if you want to flush the radiator.

I pulled the radiator on my 2501 when I was replacing a line one time.
The replacement cost of a new radiator when you "slip" and punch a hole through it, just wasn't worth it to me.
Over the years, I have "jacked up" enough radiators by hitting them with a tool, or something, to know that the extra few minutes it takes to remove the radiator is sometimes more than offset by the time saved working in tight spaces, and "slipping" or "dropping" something on the fins.
There have been exceptions of course, but not too many.
