On a Ranch King lawn mower, the spring for the tension pulley typically attaches to a fixed point on the mower frame or deck and connects to the tension pulley itself. This setup allows the spring to provide the necessary tension to ensure proper operation of the mower's drive belt. Always refer to the owner's manual for specific diagrams and attachment points for your particular model.

A large spring fell off John Deere LX277 lawn tractor and tractor won't move Where does this spring belong and how is it attached?
This is probably the large spring that tensions the idler pulley assembly for the main drive belt (the belt that runs whenever the engine is operating and runs between the upper engine pulley and the pulley on the transmission. It hooks on the idler pully assembly on the left side of the mower and then on a vertical bracket toward the front of the mower. You'll need a big screwdriver to get it back on. Put a socket wrench on one of the idler pulleys and pivot the entire idler assembly to release tension on the belt so you can snap the spring back in place with the screwdriver. Uncle Al

Does anyone have a picture or diagram how to put on a deck belt on gdrm 48 greatdane mower?
The trick to putting on most v belts is to understand the pulleys. The flat surfaced pulleys will contact the back of the belt. The v pulleys will face the v on the belt. On a chariot jr., you put the belt around the drive pulley on the motor first (v facing the pulley). From the front of the mower facing the seat, the left side of the belt comes up/around to the v blade pulley to your left. Next the belt goes around the idler pulley just to the right. Then the center blade pulley. At this point the belt actually will go around the idler tension pulley (the pulley with the spring attached to it.). But, you have two options here. To put the v belt around the blade v pulley to the far right first. Or, around the idler tension pulley first. Now here's where it gets tough. You have to take a crow bar or other type bar and pull the idler tension pulley around far enough to get the belt over it. That should do it.

Change mower belt on John Deere 855?
I changed mine this week. This is a JD855 with 60" hydro-mower. There are 4 nuts you will have to remove or loosen. You want to raise the PTO gear box up enough to slip the new belt over the middle pulley. The hard part is stretching the tension spring back into place. I cheated and added a metal extension from the spring to the anchor hole. Once it is used a few times I expect the belt will have stretched enough to let me pull the spring all the way.
