I qas given a 31R707 0001 G1 by my father in law.
My brother in law was cutting grass before it was given to us and threw the deck belt. I removed the deck per the manual and put the belt back on according to the official Troy-Bilt youtube video and pdf manual online.
The problem is that the belt is comming up like 2" short of the drive pully. The rear hangers on the deck have multiple holes. It was installed on the rear two but, like I said, the belt is too short. If I use the front two holes and shift the deck forward, the belt mounts but is still tight enough to engage the blades at all times (even when the blade lever is all the way disengaged). This can't be right.
My brother in law insists that there is a tensioner somewhere but I can't find it on the mower or anywhere in the manual.
Any ideas?
