Will someone please post a picture or pictures of how the idler pulley engages with the engine belt of this particular model and how the idler spring provides the needed tension? I got this mower used and the belt was slipping so the drive disc was only spinning occasionally. The idler spring was broken also so I bought a new belt and spring. However, I'm not even sure the previous owner even routed the belt properly. I really need to see how the idler spring provides tension. I feel kind of silly because I can't figure it out. Please help. I've looked all over the internet and I can't even find a photo of the underside of the V212P4 Snapper self-propelled mower. Thanks.

Welcome to the forum pamnsam94! :howdy:

Checkout starting page 9 of this manual. Not a actual photo but shows some of the routing.

Thanks, but I've looked at that manual before and it doesn't show the particular idler spring that it used on the Snapper V212P4. I need to know how the idler spring attaches and how it provides tension on the belt. For the life of me, I can't figure it out. One end of the spring has a U-shape that I'm assuming must attach to something but I can't figure it out. I also want to see how the belt is routed so I can see how the idler pulley engages with the belt.
