Zusammenfassung:	A tensioning assembly is provided for a primary drive employed in supplying rotary power from a vehicle to at least one sheave associated with a blade on a mow er deck which, upon being driven, creates a tight side and a backside in said belt on opposite sides of said sheave. A bracket is pivotably supported on the mower deck and carries rotatably thereon first and second idler pulleys on respective first and second portions of th e bracket. The first pulley engages the tight side of the belt, and the second pulley engages the backside of the belt. A resilient member is operatively coupled to the bracket for biasing t he first and second pulleys mounted thereon toward a tensioning position wherein each of the fir st and second pulleys effectively lengthen a path of the belt, thereby tensioning the bel t.
