Statesman riding mower idler arm loose?

[RussellTP]

I bought the mower from someone since rearend isn't working,so I removed the battery, noticed the upper belt and idler pullery wheel went bad. How can the idler arm tighten the belt? Is idler spring missing on idler arm or not?

Model 13at608h016

Thanks for information. I wonder what part number for spring to put on idler bracket. Is that part number 732-0384 spring extension for idler bracket to hold the belt?

I would remove deck after printing copy of parts & look for missing spring location.
