Husqvarna LGT2454 - drive belt not tight (missing spring?)

[jpilk99]

Hi all,

I have a Husqy 960450007 01 and the drive belt is quite loose. Maybe the belt is stretched but ...it barely drives.

Noticing on parts diagram that there is a Return Spring listed (#161 below) but I'll be dammed if I can see this under my machine. Can anyone comment if they have one of these return springs under their machine - and where it connects? This graphic seems to suggest there is a little hole to the far right of that black brake bar (just above the #211 image below) that might anchor the forward part of the spring while the other end would go through a hole on the side of the frame?? But again, I ain't got a spring under mine.

Thanks for any help.

Jay

I don’t see part # 161 on the picture you posted. Can you post where said spring # 161 goes?
