What does this spring go to?

I'm a little new to the ride on lawn mowers, I bought this with some parts missing. Makes for the hardest projects. It's a 2006 YardMachine RT99 LT Lawn Tractor. I was told it just needed a belt, upon further inspection, its missing a pulley on the deck for the upper belt and the spring in the picture was not attached to anything. I'm not sure where or what it attaches to and if I need another part. Any help would be much appreciated! The arrow points to the spring. Thanks!

If you'd give us serial and model #'s and deck size it shouldn't be too hard to figure it all out.

some of the riders have a second arm that the idler pulley connects to. the spring went between those two arms. Acts like a shock absorber for the belt. Without knowing the exact model number I am only guessing about what is missing.

Looks like yours missing a pulley.

Pay no attention to "wide, narrow" markings on that diagram...the pulley in the middle-back of the deck is marked wrong.

Yes I knew I was missing a pulley, but didn't think it had a arm on it there. If that picture is correct for my model, I need a pulley and some sort of arm. Maybe #43 and #40?lawn snip.JPG

I am thinking item 64 and 56 along with the other associated parts on this diagram. What Jack17 posted would be what it looks like installed

Hard to tell from your pic on what's missing. Take your tablet with this diagram to your garage and look closely at it one part at the time.

BTW...the MTD parts website is like the worst to find anything or navigate ever!!!

Definitely hard to tell what i'm missing. The microfishe is pretty tricky on this one. I wish I could find a actual picture of a complete deck. I know where the missing pulley mounts, just not sure which mount and arm it is.

In the link I gave you go to "frame" diagram and see if part #3 is on your deck? If not there then that part and pulley #37 is missing.
