lift assist spring for the 44" 2-stage snow blower

[old tool 2]

Has anyone found a replacement for the assist spring #110614, which has been NLA now for several years? That or has anybody measured spring OD., wire diamemeter and length inside the hooks on ends?

I make mine from old garage door springs.

@old tool  almost  non existent now , but  old car  hood springs , would kill that , maybe  an old bone yard  close by ?

Check with Wheel Horse Parts & More and ask if the 4629 spring is the same.

From doing a search here on Redsquare for that number I'm seeing that as the lower assist rod spring. 

Also seeing a lot of people not using them on hydro lift tractors, especially if they have the front lift spring.

I don't have one here to measure. We apparently were using the snowblower without that lower spring.
