Default Mule Drive question

Well I finally ordered a idler ratchet from one of the sponsored vendors and it won’t work.. at least it won’t bolt right on.
This is for a 44” deck on a 800
I don’t know if the PO did something funny with this mule drive, but the slot for the idler ratchet doesn’t line up with the pulley. I think this is the correct mule drive for this mower. At least it works. But it is a pain in the butt to hook up the belt. I am sure this hose clamp isn’t correct but what would keep everything in place? If I take off the hose clamp will the new idler ratchet pull the pulley over to the side?
I am posting a couple pictures and maybe one of you sharp eyed experts can help me out.
Going by parts diagram everything looks to be assembled correctly. just that part #7 is too far over.

This is the idler ratchet I bought, and although it doesn't look like the one in the diagram it is listed as the correct replacement part.#

It's not assembled correctly. The pulley on the left goes on the other side of the arm.

What J said plus the part # 6 looks like it is too far right as if the cross pin in the shaft is missing.

Good eye! I agree, looks like the pin is missing.

Stover nut (thingy)

That bolt needs to be a bit longer than the one on the rights side (facing the tractor) with enough threads to secure the sheave,with enough left to attach the release lever with the 2nd nut and leave enough clearance for the lever to move freely between the 2 nuts, kinda like when you.....no....better not go there!!

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
