I was cutting my grass tonight when my blades suddenly stopped cutting. I disengaged the PTO and then reengaged and it didn't do anything. After looking under the deck, the belt tension spring was just dangling. The spring came undone from the front deck. I thought this would be easy to re-attach it, but I can't figure out how it was attached. I found a picture online of the same deck I have and it almost looks like there is another part that is holding the spring (see picture below). Anyone know anything about this? Thank you for your help...I really appreciate it!

There is a part which looks like a S-hook, which will go into that hole in the deck and then attach the spring.
