Need to loosen pulley tension

Help! We just spent the last 6 hours putting on a new tension pulley and other related parts on our 1992 212-5 toro mower deck. But now we can't figure out how to put the pulley belt back on because the belt tension is too tight. There has to be a way to loosen the tension so we can get the belt around the pulleys but I am stumped.

Thank you!

      252-H troubles
      By cJ_3D
      Hello helpful Wheel Horse enthusiasts! 
       
      Maybe you all could help me figure something out. I don't think I am installing the mower deck properly on my 1989 252-H and I don't know if the PTO clutch is adjusted right.
       
      So referencing this image here from the service manual for the mower deck (37"):
       

       
      What exactly am I doing with this adjustment knob and how does it fit into this piece?
       



       
      Also for the PTO clutch where am I sticking the feeler gauge exactly and do I need to do all 3 springs? Or does adjusting the one in the manual adjust all three?
       


       
      Much obliged for the help!

      PTO clutch support screw torque
      By cJ_3D
      Hey all!
       
      Replacing the drive belt on my 252-h. Anyone know the torque specification for the center screw when I put this pto clutch back on? I know it was on there tight it took a minute for the impact to break it loose. Thanks!

      308-8 Pully ID help
      By razorback1995
      Hey all,
       
      This pully blew up on me yesterday. Having a hard time IDing the part # or replacements. the 308-8 schematics I've found don't list this part.  Its the pully in the front that runs from the motor to the mowing deck. 
       
      Thanks in advance!

      1996 Wheel Horse 520H With 48 Inch Deck
      By lsc1257
      I have a 1996 520H Wheel Horse for sale.  The tractor has just over 800 hours on it.  It comes with a 48 inch deck.  The deck is a 1995 and has over 1,500 hours on it, as it came brand new with my 312-8 that I sold several years ago.  This 520-H has the swept front axle so it can handle a 60 inch deck.  I just replaced the battery and the deck belt this summer.  The engine is a 20HP Onan and it starts right up but requires the full choke.  The transmission is an Eaton 1100-062, hydrostatic.  The deck is in rough shape but the spindles appear to be in good working order.  The right rear tire has some cracking.  The original operator's manual for the 520H is included, as is the original operating and maintenance instructions for the deck, plus the installation instructions for the deck.  Also included is a new PTO belt and several miscellaneous deck wheels and rollers.  Additional pictures available upon request.  Asking $500.

      Is my mower deck set up wrong?
      By BrianKoch
      Gentlemen,
       
      I’m having trouble with getting my deck to raise up and lock and I think it might have to do with the deck being incorrectly set up. 
       
      Based on the picture, does my mower deck look incorrectly positioned? That is, should the pivoting support bar be positioned above or below the wheel support pin? 
       
      Brian
