Quick update - the machine is back together, the drive train is blissfully quiet and the transmission works smoothly again.

Big mowing done, great to have it back.

NormK - Thanks for the tip for lifting the mower front up, made much of the process simple.

Max - thanks for the access hole tip. Yes the guys fixing it did have to drill two access holes into the top of the frame body to access the hex recess in the pulley bolt heads, and had to move the steering wheel cover out of the way to do so. So, yes, it looks like Greenfield bolted these idler pulleys to their mount plate before welding the mount plate to the frame. Not helpful.

I would like to modify the thread name to correct the model designation to Evolution 2009, but I don't seem to be able to do that.

Cheers

Matt
