Looking for guidance on a craftsman RER 1000

[Eaglesfate]

Good afternoon,

I am reaching out to see if anyone could help me glean where this came off of the mower deck? or did this come
from another part of the mower? Looked through the parts manual and came up with nothing.

I speculate it has something to do with tightening the mower deck belt as the belt slips every time I engage the blades.

I have looked over the top and bottom of the mower deck and have not found any location for this. As of right now my only back up is a man powered reel mower, a doable task, just takes a lot longer.

Thanks for your help and time.
