OK, I have my new return spring. As you can see the overall length of the replacement spring is much taller than the old one. I assume I'll need to shorten the spring so that it engages with the outboard holes and at the same time have the "U" sit behind the roll pin. Or am I looking at this all wrong?
Thanks in advance!

I’m looking for the recommended process to restore old wheels from grinding to sanding to painting. Also what tools are preferred in the process?

The local place I’ve bought parts from for years has changed owners, now they can’t even spell Wheel Horse let alone be if any help.
Doing my spring tune up I noticed my drive belt is getting pretty ratty. Due to all I’ve read thought I’d ask for some advise on getting it right the first time on a new belt.
Is there still dealers on this site selling OME stuff ? I know there are tons of aftermarket crap but not looking for that.
Thank in advance.

Hello All!
Added THREE tractors all at once yesterday(09/16/2025). Two model 854, and one model 855. The two 854 look pretty nice, but are not running right this minute --does not look like much more than a little tinkering/refreshing after sitting for a long time. The 855 was labelled a "parts" tractor, but except for it being Really well-used looking, it seems to be all there so I am not going to consider it out of play yet. The two 854's have rear discharge mower decks...one is a square style deck, the other the rounded style deck.
I think it is really nice that all three are basically the same machine, separated by one year, yet completely different styles--the end of one era and the beginning of another I guess.
There is an ID tag on the 855 (serial number 135166) but on the two 854 tractors, there is No tag under the steering like late models. Are the tags in a different place on older machines? Looking them over, I do not notice anything obvious. The 854 with the lower Kohler engine serial number has the round style mover deck, while the one with the slightly higher engine serial number has the square style deck.
All for now! Be well and stay safe.
