edgro 680 #1 Posted July 6, 2019 new to me, PO did everything he could, but could not get it to start. traded in to cub dealer, or was going to scrap it. Fixed it with a $11 battery cable. Anyhow, cleaning it all up, there is a broken spring by right pedal. none of my other tractors seem to have this spring, what is it for? Also, I blew it out with shop air behind the flywheel, is that good enough, or should I pull the flywheel to clean? Thanks for any help/advice. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daveoman1966 3,841 #2 Posted July 6, 2019 Me thinks that spring is from the Idler Pulley Assembly for a rear Tiller.... it maintains belt tension. Take it off. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Racinbob 11,991 #3 Posted July 6, 2019 I'm thinking there are a couple styles but that's how mine hooked up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you suspect that a critter is nesting behind the flywheel, it's a good idea to take it off. Otherwise what you did is fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
edgro 680 #5 Posted July 6, 2019 Thanks. No critters, just general debris. I suspect the tins haven't been off before. Overall seems to be in good shape. Will remove spring Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
