There's usually just one heavy spring to keep tension on the belt. There may much smaller one's as a safety brake system.
Also, there usually is no adjustment for the belt.
If a PTO (electric push / pull), the belt is always tight. PTO engages/disengages the belt.
If a manual blade engagement lever on the console, there's usually a spring loaded cable to take up slack and keep proper tension on the belt..
Remember, that unit has very likely been tinkered with MANY TIMES over the years...
I would print out the parts diagram and go closely over that with what you have...
