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!
 
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..
