      I have an Husqvarna  Rz 5424 Zero turn that recently had the idler pulley on the drive side self destruct. I replaced it, and am now having an issue with the drive. It seems like it is low on hydraulic fluid now. With the blades going , as I try to accelerate forward, if I push the handles too far it just stops. I dont want to mow at 1 mph Additionally, I cant find a diagram that tells me how to route the drive belt. There is a tensioner spring that controls the idler pully (I think) as it was disconnected . I reconnected it the way that put tension on the belt, but its not the side I found it laying on. There isnt a diagram in the parts breakdown that shows this. Any help woukd be greatly appreciated.

        Thank you Eugene. I did install it backwards. I went from the RH pully to the Idler and had the tension spring pulling from the other side. Go figure.....Hahaha!
