Blades won't engage

[keith1955]

I have a LTX 46 cub cadet mower. I was mowing yesterday and the blades stopped. When I pull the with the clutch is clicking. I hooked 12 volts to the clutch wires and can physically see the clutch expand some. I pulled the clutch off thinking I had stripped the key but it is good. Any ideas what to try next ?
Thanks for any advice.

I found the problem. It is a broken tension spring on the idler. I guess I always expect the worst.
Thanks
