Hi, As I was cutting last week the tractor abruptly stalled. I thought I had run over something. I checked around and saw nothing and continued to cut. Today however the lawn looked like the center blade wasn't operating. I checked the deck and noticed the coil spring for the tensioner was off it's hook. I hooked it back up, fired up the PTO and the belt started to smoke. So I shut it off, adjusted the coil spring and tried again, instant stall. Any ideas. I should add that I had to move the hook closer to the spring in order to stretch it far enough, I may not have returned the hook back to it's specified position. Thanks for reading
