I'm rebuilding a ARPS 728 backhoe attachment. I've got it torn down and I'm in the process of removing the old paint/rust, and I'm starting on the list of hardware I need to replace. I've attached a photo, but the pistons that control the left and right movement of the backhoe are mounted under the seat and bolted to the frame using 3 long threaded rods. Where they attach to the frame, there is a spring on the end of each bolts between two washers, held in place by a nut. My question is A) where do I find these springs (Mcmaster-Carr's inventory is too big for me to figure out which one I need and/or B) Could I get away with replacing these with something else (ie 2-3 lock washers, etc).
thanks in advance.
I'll post some pics when I get more of it down. Got the first coat of John Deere Green on about 1/3 of the pieces parts this morning.
