I had a GT262 "gifted" to me and after getting it running (sat for 7 yrs), I found it needed a new main V belt and one of the idler pulleys replaced. I have those installed but, I don't have a manual (yet) and don't know how the idlers are suppose to be adjusted. I think I have everything correct but, the belt isn't very tight when the clutch is released. Is that normal? Anyone have belt installation directions?raying:

the belt tension is maintained with springs, I am sure you had to remove at least one to get the belt routed??

see this diagram: http://jdpc.deere.com/jdpc/servlet/com.deere.u90490.partscatalog.view.servlets.HomePageServlet_Alt

looks very similar to the routing on the STX38, I had to remove one spring, then use a pry bar to hold the tensioner open to route the belt, reattached the main spring, removed the pry bar and all was well... no adjustments per-se.
