This spring is sourced directly from the original equipment manufacturer for use with riding lawn mowers and garden tractors. It is an important component that applies tension on the deck break assembly. Over time it may wear out and lose tension eventually requiring a replacement. To ensure the correct installation of this hardware, check the diagrams of your specific model. This high-quality spring is made of durable metal and is sold as an individual component. You may need a wrench set and pliers to perform this repair.

Blades would not stop running for a long time due to spring mechanism not retracting. Air filter very dirty, and time to change the fuel filter anyway.

Reattach spring and excercise mechanism. Add small amount of grease to all moving parts except belt. Now it retracts properly and the blades stop within about 20 seconds. Easy to replace air filter. Pair of pliers releases clips on both sides of fuel filter...about one minute. Will use oil drain tube next time we change the oil.

Searched for the location where the broken off piece of the spring hooked up to.
Took the still attached piece of original spring off & attached new spring to that location,had to pull a little on new spring to attach the other end to the mower deck location designated for hook up.
