SOURCE: My MTD Yardman HE4160 just stopped yesterday

You can start by getting a manual here:
http://manuals.mtdproducts.com/mtd/public/list.jsp

The above web site also has a "parts finder" that gives detailed drawings for each model.

If you look around under the mower, you should be able to find the hole, or bracket where the spring was hooked. (look for rub marks, or scratches)

If the spring just fell off for no apparent reason, it may have been connected to a bracket that broke off (rust, vibration, etc) It is usually easier to make a new bracket then to try finding a replacement.

SOURCE: 609 yard machine tractor idler pulley spring broke

Here's a diagram, not a great copy, but it may help:

The spring hooks to the idler arm on the opposite end from where the pulley is mounted. The other end of the spring looks like it hooks to a raised tab on the deck, straight behind the left mower spindle. Hope this helps you, please rate my solution if so, thanks!

Most likely its a belt tensioner spring that attaches to a pulley somewhere in the belt "loop" or "path". Look for a smaller pulley that is attached to an armature. That's usually the belt tensioner. If its not that check

Need to know where the clutch spring attaches to under the mower
You removed the engine??? You probably just needed to remove the blade. The only spring I can think of would be a tensioner spring for the belt pulley, which is up front if it's a front wheel drive mower.

My 14 yr old son is trying to fix our mower. He can't remember where the large spring was attached at on the deck. The belts had slipped up and he had to place them back on the pulleys. now he...
I think the large spring goes into a post atop one of the tension pulleys and should also have a clip to hold it there. He should see an indentation in the post of the TOP of one of the pulleys. Have him try to reuse or find a clip to keep it there if the top of the post isn't worn out.

I change belts on decks now they are smokeing hot every time engage blade why ? I put it on the same way it came off. beckidoug@yahoo
Check the pulley that has the engagement cable attached to it, there should also be a spring that pulls the pulley back when you disengage it. If that spring is not there, the belt will still have a little tension on it causing it to rub on the drive pulley creating heat.

Replaced Mower Deck Drive Belt. Belt runs from Engine pulley to Mower deck Pulley. Purchased new belt rom JD dealer. Belt is slack, Is there suppodes to be a tensioner for this belt.
Yes, there is an idler arm with a pulley that presses either inward or outward against the belt to tension it. In some JD mowers, the arm is tensioned by pulling on a long metal rod that latches near the edge of the mower deck, but without the model number I can't be more precise about that. Just look for that extra pulley and arm it's mounted on -- you'll see a tension spring, and you should also see a way to pull the arm away from the spring to place it under tension. Good luck!

I need to tighten belt for the mower deck, how is that done? it is a 2004 craftsman 17.5HP 42 " deck. Can you help me
Each of the pulleys on top of the deck should have tensioners. These tensioners are usually the type which have a bolt for you to tighten while attached to the pulley. While you tighten the bolt, the pulley puts tension on the belt.

I have tension spring that is disconected inside a toro 824 snowb
That spring will attach itself to just about anything available. So put some hand tension on the idler pulley of the tensioner, and make an arc with the end of the spring, and there should a tab or bolt or post that the spring could attach to.

Noise, idler pully rubbing against middle blade
Unless there is some other means of placing tension on the deck belt, I would say that the idler pulley does. If the idler pulley is on a pivot arm, there is a spring that typically is attached to the pivot arm, near the pulley, that attaches to a post or some other part of the deck, that creates the tension on the belt. Check the belt for proper tension.
