ok so i have more then a worn spring issue. I found a very close replacement. did a comparison and i think i have additional concerns.
first off, new or old spring the spring doesn't even start to feel pressure and you can go in either direction. it's not until you press it all the way in one direction does the spring provide any resistence. I think the two posts that mount the spring have excessive wear on them but honestly it's the only thing i can think of.
anyway here are some pics.
the new spring ($10 at ACE hardware), wire diameter is a hair thinker. outside diameter is a little larger and inside diameter is .01 larger but really it felt the same as the old spring.
I measured and cut it down to match. I left half a coil to firm it up a little.
note the mouting pin on the right. it would make sense to me that this shouldn't be tapered so much. it's this taper that allows the tractor to drive prior to the spring being involved at all.
thoughts?
Glad to hear it worked out. I have a parts manual if needed.Does anybody have any manuals or parts books on these tractors? And when you say changed the fluid are you saying the hydraulic fluid your using is diesel engine oil now instead of hydraulic fluid? btw I recently did the harbor freight predator engine swap based off your post on swapping engines and purchased the same adapter for transmission from same place. Everything came out great with the engine swap, plenty of power.
