    Belt adjustment on a craftsman EZ3
    The drive belt for the mowing deck is slipping and breaking belts. Is there a way to tension the belt so that it is tight?

    You have a spring loaded tensioner pulley that moves to engage the blade. There is a threaded rod on that pulley movement and its adjusted by turning the nut on the rod. Give me the actual model number with the period in the right place and I might be more accurate.
