My mower did the exact same thing yours did and bent the bracket the exact same way! Thanks for this video. Your helped me out a lot especially with the tools you used...and that brake spring plier. I'll have to pick one up.

I got mine on Amazon for $30 with the nutz and bolts.
Both idler pulleys.

I’ve never seen one bent that bad in 50 years
Be safe and don’t run over stuff is best 😊

The other idler pulley sticks when I try and engage the blades. It’s bolt is tight as is the bolt with the large washer, thoughts?

Lubricate where it slides with lithium grease if it is stuck.
