The engagement lever is hard to push idler pulley not tighten belt

Hi

I have a craftsman riding mower with a kholer engine. Model 917.272056 my lever to engage the blades is hard to push and the idler pulley does not engage. When I push the lever its pretty tough. I can put it all the way up to its position where its held but the pulley that engages the blades and belt barely moves. The pulley tries to engage but looks like its stuck. I tried lubricating under the pulley being careful not to get some on the belt. I can somewhat push it back and forth by hand but still feels tough. When I push the lever up I feel its stretching the cable. Its tough to push but not where it could easily snap it. Is the pulley tighten too much. It does spin freely. What should i do? Thank you plz help
