While the deck was engaged, the deck belt jammed up and a spring came out. I got the mower working and checked the diagrams but couldn't find out where it belongs. Model# 13WX79KT011 My picture was too large to upload. The entire spring is 5" long. The coiled part of the spring is 2.75" long One hook is .5". The other is 1.5" Help please!!
The size does not gel with me
There are 2 springs on the deck
The tension arm spring goes from an anchor tab on the tension arm forward to a slot in the deck so it pulls the tension idler back to tension the belt.
There is a smaller diameter spring that pulls the brakes on and that goes from the right hand brake lever back to a hole in the deck behind the spindle housing .
Thank you! I guess the deck belt whipped back and dislodged it somehow. Must not be too important. I mowed the lawn without it I'll get it back in there. Thanks to both of you that helped?????
