sorekiwi 761 #2 Posted September 7, 2012 I cant confirm that the spring is the same for both attachments, but I am thinking that I have read the same thing somewhere. The specs for the snowblower spring are in this thread: The p'n is 4629 and it was close to $30 a couple or 3 years ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kelly 1,028 #6 Posted September 7, 2012 I've thought about using a hood spring from a older car, you know before everything had hood props or shocks, the ones I take off my race cars mid 70's chevelles look about right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AMC RULES 36,945 #9 Posted September 9, 2012 There is an NOS lift assist spring kit listed on ebay right now...for some crazy money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 35,770 #10 Posted September 13, 2012 Some pics of the lift springs made from a garage door. The two center springs are pulled with a turnbuckle. The outside spring is attached by hand and used for fine adjustment. The force required to lift the snowblower can be adjusted from -5 lbs to +20 lbs by changing the point of attaching the spring. All springs are attached to a bar in the attach-a-matic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
