daveoman1966 3,611 #1 Posted July 27, 2016 The foot pedal return spring (# 6-14) often breaks on these and is IMPOSSIBLE to replace it. A simpler solution is to mount a return spring to the outside of the hoodstand tunnel...as in these pics. Just drill a 1/8" hole (rod # 6-23) about 6" from the end and put a cotter pin in that hole,... bend it over on the back. (careful of the hyd lines). Locate a screen-door or similar 3/8 to 1/2" dia spring and cut to about 4", bending a loop at both ends. Hook one end of the spring into the existing 1/2" dia hole in the hoodstand and stretch it out to hook the opposite end into the eye of the cotter pin. PRESTO..... pedal returns like it should when bringing the tractor to the neutral position. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

squonk 38,928 #3 Posted July 28, 2016 When I got my C-160 that spring was broken. I managed to find another of the correct spring. After spending a few hours trying to figure out how to install it with out taking most of the tractor apart, I did almost the exact same thing Dave did. Throw some red paint on it and all is good! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
