I've had my 317 for several years and never run into this before. So I'm not sure how things go. I had my snow blower hooked up and yesterday was the first day I had to use it. It was blowing just fine and all at once it stopped working. After pulling the grill, I seen that the tension pulley had lost tension and the belt came off. I had to replace the spring earlier when I hooked up the blower, because other one looked bad. Anyway, the part that the spring hooks too, to cause the tension seemed to be flopped over in the wrong direction. I was able to move it over to the far side and get tension again and finish the job. What I would like to have is a diagram of that area of the pulley's, as I don't have any kind of manual for this Tractor. It seems that it should have something to hold the tensioner in that position, but I found nothing. I have 500 ft of drive and really need this thing to work right. Thanks

Bump. Does anybody know the answer or have a picture of the tensioner & belt hook up.

The idler tension pulley does have two positions. One way, the spring has no tension, to assist in installing the belt. The other way, flip it over center and the spring tensions up to tighten the belt.
