I could push the belt with a finger down to the bottom of the guard on the section of belt between the drive pump and crank pulley. I slid the belt stop all the way forward against the tensioner and this seemed to help things, but I still feel like there is a little bit too much play. There doesn't seem to be any adjustment on the spring. The manual says the tensioner stop is the only adjustment and to "just make sure the spring bolt is tight". I really like the technicality from bobcat with that line. With it being all the way forward now and still having some play in the belt, I may need to replace the tensioner entirely. It did seem to run better after that with less push back. It was raining though also so soil was soft and I couldn't get a great grip uphill without slipping. I'll do some further testing tonight.</blockquote>
