This was the idler arm spring on a RZ5424 Husqvarna zero turn mower. I simply hooked the spring end on to each attachment point and then replaced the belt. That did not fix the problem of belt jumping out of pulleys. The belt had stretched, so I replaced the mower deck belt to fix the problem.

Removed the belt and the mower deck. Flipped the deck over and replaced the blades. Routed the belt, reattached the mower deck and put on the spring.

The tension spring fell off. The belt was worn. I replaced both. Now it cuts well.

I ended up removing the bolt the spring attached c
To because the spring kept falling off. Instead I attached the spring directly to the tensioner then over to the adjustable bnb eye bolt. Once it was tightened it was fine. The belt was tight.
