Hello to all--I have a Hustler Raptor that stopped moving forward or back last week. Found the tensioner spring was broken at one end, allowing the belt to loosen. Ordered a new spring, put out on today, mower worked fine. Made about 6 passes in the yard and it stopped once again. Second spring broken same way! Anyone know why this might keep happening? The mower is 4 years old and serviced regularly--this problem came out of nowhere, so any advice would be welcome. Thanks!

OEM springs? Frozen belt pulley/s with bad bearings?

Everything seems to be alright, although drive belt is original so maybe needs replacement?

Where does the spring keep on breaking ?
Every now & then a bad batch of springs ends up on the market .

First time it broke at the hook that goes to the pulley, the second time it broke at the hook that goes around the bolt..
