Drive belt tension spring - exmark quest - qzs708gem50200

Drive belt (not mower deck) tension spring and belt came off during use. Can someone tell or show me where the tension spring attaches?...on the body, a bolt on the bottom of the deck? An help would be great!

Thank you!

Well, a friend and I finally figured out how to get the hydro drive belt on - IT IS A BITCH to get back on! It is almost IMPOSSIBLE to put on, even with maximal tension released! The secret is loosening the rear-most pulley to where it ALMOST comes off - this allows the last bit of tension release to slip the drive belt over it.

See our attachment drawing for the way this belt loops around - the mower cuts fabulous again!

I could not find this information ANYWHERE ELSE on the web - I hope this helps someone else out.
