I pick this mower up a couple years used.Rather quickly the self propel quickly got slower and slower....Checked it out and found the idler pulley on the drive belt was seized and the belt wore a groove into pulley....Fast forward to now,Got new idler pulley and for the life of me cannot recall in what position the bracket faced and where it is mounted under the deck.If anyone has a picture of how this is mounted I would greatly appreciate your help.
Hello Ron & Welcome to this fun and informative FORUM....
Here is a parts diagram showing the idler location in relation to parts... Parts and Diagrams for Husqvarna 580 RS (2000-11)

Thanks for the warm welcome.....I had come across that manual but couldn't really make heads or tails as to location....But with a little more patience that I had earlier today I got it all to go together AND it moved and mowed....So i would consider it a success.But thanks for the welcome and the help.I now have a place to come for this type of thing.
