44A mower/1450 PTO belt tension help needed
Well I got the 1450 going I inherited a few weeks ago, changed the hytran+ filter, oil, air filter, plug, battery, blades, greased the zerk fittings, cleaned the carb, etc. I'm having trouble with the PTO belt tension and I'm not sure if it's the belt itself stretched or if there's something wrong with the tensioner mechanism.
I have the tensioner adjuster to max tighten adjust and I can still feel a bit of slop. When I turn on the PTO I can hear and see the belt slopping around, so I didn't mow my yard just yet. I can jiggle the left tensioner bar with my bare hands without much effort. I think the tensioner spring looks OK and has resistance if I push it back far enough. I have the owner's manual of both the deck and tractor, along with the service manual of the tractor and it doesn't say anything about the servicing the tensioner itself. I do plan to replace the belt, as I'm not sure how old it is and think that's the culprit to the slapping but was wondering if everything looks OK here visually. 44A Serial 032017U125674, Tractor is 1450 Ser 2050660U647104. Thanks, Eric

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.
