whtractors24 3,509 #1 Posted July 2 I’m looking to see where a 1976 c-120 automatic original clutch return spring actually mounts? The second photo is the repair that was done at one time . Thank you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ri702bill 12,383 #2 Posted July 2 Is that a snapped off remnant of a bolt above and behind the current location?? Maybe there was a mount there??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pfrederi 20,819 #4 Posted July 2 It mounts inside the hood stand and is a PITA to hook up.. Probably why someone made the repair you showed 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 20,819 #5 Posted July 2 OK a couple pics of the hook up.... the hidden end of the spring goes to a hole in # 6-61 cam neutral plate Good luck If you really are into self flagellation I can send you a spring 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ineedanother 2,511 #6 Posted 2 hours ago I just went through this with a '73 auto. I'm going to true it up with a better anchor point now that I'm sure it works well but here is what I fashioned to avoid digging in the hood tower... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd like to make a suggestion on the spring position. Flip it over so the tang ends point down. I've lost some in various machines over the years because they can lose tension and gravity takes over.

MainelyWheelhorse 2,785 #8 Posted 1 hour ago I ought to do something like this for my 78 C-141 Auto. The brakes are a bit lacking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
