MTD mower DECK extension spring need help

I have a 2004 Yard Machine 38" deck riding mower model 13AB652F729, serial number 1E194B80035000 and did the same thing, I can't figure out where the spring attatches to my deck to maintain tension for my deck blades to engine belt. I can't believe something so simple can be so hard. Any help would be appreciated. Owner book shows a blow up but not to where the belt connects to the deck, that's all I need, can't seem to figure it out.
 
The belt should just go around the outside of the deck pulleys. Forming a triangle shape with the engine pulley.
 
The "string / cord trick" works great, learned about it years ago when I was replacing drum type brakes on my ol Barracuda, as I didn't have the proper brake spring tool at the time, ..:thumbsup:

I know how the belt goes, what I need to know is where the deck tension spring hooks onto the deck to maintain deck tension to the belt.
