Worked!!
Thank you so much!!!
The belt did barely missed the spring after I did it. Two sheets of papers wouldn't clear but one did. I checked belt several times while mowing lawn and there was no overheating and after I was done it seemed the gap had widened. Funny but when I was searching the internet for solutions I came across a Craftsman that had the type of arrangement you suggested. I dismissed it at the time but learned today the Husqvarna made some Craftsman mowers!
