Did I just trash my mower?

I have a YTH2348 Husqvarna and I know I messed up, just wondering how bad. Needed a new drive belt and instead of going to my local Husqvarna dealer, I went off brand from the tractor supply store in town. I think I got too small of a belt. I got the belt on and the tractor worked fine for a month or 2 and on my last cut before winter the belt came off. So I just took my deck off and climbed underneath to fix and discovered a big problem. My entire transaxle is shifted forward at an angle of at least 30 degrees. I know I screwed up majorly here and I'm just wondering if this is a fixable issue or if it is even worth it to fix on a 4 year old tractor. I have 2 acres I cut which is flat but very rough. Mower takes a beating, just wondering if it will ever be right again.

What do you guys think I am looking at here to get this fixed? Or should I invest in a new mower? If so suggestions for a mower for 2 acres, rough ground, quite a few trees and other obstacles to cut around.

Thanks for any help.

If you can get the transaxle adjusted back in place it should be just fine.

Sounds like you bent a brace. Should be able to take them off and fix them.
Tractor supply sells the oem belt for that tractor.
