John Deere 2500 E belt tensioner

We love both of our 2500 E .They do a great job on greens .
You may want to check the belt tensioning idler on engine .
Both machines failed around 1000 hrs.
The first time we where lucky


The second time not so much


Wheels are hydraulic driven so we could drive it back .


Idler wheel is a pretty good chunk of steel . I'm guessing 3 to 4 lbs .  

second unit went at about the same hours . Took the radiator and fan out . Not repairable . $$$.$$. 

I would suggest taking tension of the belt during oil changes after 500 hours and check for bearing wear . I'll be checking mine every oil change from here on in . 
Repair wasn't to bad .
