    Deck belt tension
    I had the deck rebuilt at the end of last year and also replaced the belt. This year the tension on the belt lessens as I lower the deck. In other words, when the deck is at the highest setting (4) there is tension. As I lower it, the tension lessons and on #2 setting, there is no tension at all. I work on the tractor all the time and am perplexed at this. Also, the adjustment on the deck is all the way. Its probably something stupid that I'm overlooking. Any help would be appreciated.

    Peace,
