bought what appears to be a slightly disassembled but complete tiller unit for a 2185 but it has had previous owner "Tinkeritous". 1 bracket is bent, pulley dented & a cross brace bowed (yea I know sound bad but worth the $ paid) I have it mounted to the tractor but now am not sure how the idler or tension pulley/bracket go on. It just doesnt line up with the foward or rearward pullies either way I flip it on the cross brace. Have an exploded view parts book but the pics are so poor that I cant tell which way it goes. Anyone have one on a machine they have a pic of or something very clear to see in a manual? Thanks for any thoughts.
 
Thanks Charlie for reminding me of that link there, sometimes a guy can get so frustrated by a project gone bad that the brain just doesnt operate well. The pics in the lookup are FAR better than the ones I have in a reprint for the tiller so it clearly showed which direction it goes. Thanks again
