There are two springs. One goes to a welded hook towards the front if the deck. If the hook has worn through there is an alternate hook available from JD that requires no welding.

I hope this helps. If you have a different mower deck, please add a comment with more information about your specific mower. I may be able to find additional JD parts for the machine. You can also look up parts here: http://jdpc.deere.com/jdpc/servlet/com.deere.u90490.partscatalog.view.servlets.HomePageServlet_Alt .
Have a look underneath while someone operates the height adjustment. There's probably a link arm come off which does deck height. Go to google images for this machine, type height adjustment and look at the pictures if you don't have a handbook. Google JD handbooks and see if you can find a free download.
you should have some type of belt tensioner,most common type is a pulley with a spring to hold pressure on belt.Spring may be missing or stretched {2}belt could be stretched {3}pulleys may be out of alignment
Yes, there is an idler arm with a pulley that presses either inward or outward against the belt to tension it. In some JD mowers, the arm is tensioned by pulling on a long metal rod that latches near the edge of the mower deck, but without the model number I can't be more precise about that. Just look for that extra pulley and arm it's mounted on -- you'll see a tension spring, and you should also see a way to pull the arm away from the spring to place it under tension. Good luck!
