Two problems: I picked up an old Super Bronco with a 42” cutting deck.
1: The cutting deck has two idler pulleys. One that moves when you engage the cutting blade.
I under stand that. The second idler pulley is connected to a massive spring but only moves about a 1/2 inch. What is the purpose of this second idler pully.
2: When I went to the small engine repair store for a new deck belt they sold me a 108” belt which is way too long. When I returned the belt they could not understand why it did not fit. Any suggestions as to what size to get? Thanks everyone for looking and help. Jack
