Tension pulleys are always on the slack side of chains & belts
So it will be on the side of the deck where the belt comes OFF the drive pulley as belts pull not push.
On those big decks there is usually a 1/2" square hole in the arm that the pulley is on to allow you to put a breaker bar in there to pull against the spring.
Whay I asked about your deck number is because Cub Cadet fit a belt release to a lot of their decks, usually on the left side of the deck.

I looked at your post again and have a question, is the pto engagement even working? when you pull pto switch up voltage is sent to a electromagnetic switch located on right hand side under side cover. a hose from engine intake manifold on engine goes to switch, out of switch another hose goes to diaphragm unit mounted on right front by the pto belts. when pto switch is pulled up the electromagnetic switch opens allowing vacuum from the (running engine) to the diaphragm which pulls rod down that's hooked to pulley swinging it into the belts and tightens the belts. did you pinch hose or pull it out of switch or diaphragm when replacing starter?
