I'm working on my 855 WH and have noticed that the spring on the right side (seated) is broken. It looks like it attaches to the frame and then to the pedal on the right side. I'm not sure what the function of the spring is? From what I found in the manual is that it's part #5714 So far I have been unable to locate a replacement. Can anyone help? Also what does this spring actually do? Thanks.

Since I have removed the deck, do I need to be concerned with this Spring?

No unless you plan on using a attachment that needs to driven from the engine

      ADDED Three at Once! (2x 854 1x 855)
      By 2003Chevy
      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.

      Sheet metal is very straight, great candidate for restoration.

      Will sell tractor by itself for $500 without blade and chains 
      Blade is straight and lots of cutting edge left... just a little rusty.

      By KC9KAS
      My 875 is missing the small spring that is attached to the cam/neutral plate. 
      The part number is 1230 and NLA.
      Anyone have one or know the dimensions of the spring?
      Thank you!
