Thanks Curt On the bracket up front where you slide the ""J"" hook after sliding it into the rear bracket should be just a simple 2 1/2 inch (or so) threaded bolt w/locknut. Tightening the bolt moved the deck back tightening the belt. Set the lock nut after tightening and your ready to mow !!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
