Hi,
I have a circa 2008/9 ZTS 6000. It “naturally” decided to stop any movement - at the back of the 5-acre property, away from my shop, with incoming rain storms. I removed the deck, the belt is intact, but off the tensioner. I tried to put it back on, but the belt tensioner assembly is “floppy” for lack of better words. When the belt was reinstalled, the arm tilts upwards and belt will not ride in center of pulley. Looking at the manual it shows a 1729007SM SPACER, Powdered Metal the Idler Arm pivots on. Do these wear out or is it the center hole in arm? Thanks Leaky

Thanks. Have them on order. The arrival of parts should have the ground dry again as it has rained in Biblical amounts. 🤓 Hopefully I won’t need to use my Farmers combine.
