John deere 425 54 inch mower deck belt

Well my arm looks good not much wear all the wear was and is in the 2 bushings my pulley seems very tight so I will just order the bushings, belt, bolt and nut and the steel bushing and see how that goes. Everything else seems to be very tight and solid. I hope this works?????

Well finally got my parts, put everything back together and dbl and triple checked everything again. Started it up turned on the mower deck and let it run a bit then turned it off. It is working so I mowed a little bit but due to rainy weather had to stop and it is still on. I did find out one thing tho. The metric bolt that came with the bushings still had a little play in it which made the arm a little loose. So I experimented with using a 7/16 bolt of the same length and that tightened things up a lot. So now time will decide if it is working again or not just waiting for better weather. Thanks to all of you for helping me.
