NH 105A Tiller Chain Tensioner

[Riddler]

Looking for help to reinstall the chain tensioner arm and spring on a 40" NH 105A tiller. The arm and spring were removed to replace a broken spring, but I am not 100% sure how to reinstall the the assembly correctly. A photo of what the reassembled arm and spring look like would be perfect. I could even take a crack at it reinstalling it using the exploded parts diagram, which I have, and then post a photo to see if I reassembled things correctly. Suggestions? Thanks, jr

I borrowed it from a neighbor and thought I'd check the oil before I used it and found this:

The golden rule: "Do unto others as.........." My neighbor was tickled and I got to use his tiller.

They are listed as an available part from New Holland dealers. Search for part number ME2000035.

Most of the 105a diagrams show gear drives rather than chain. I found that chain drive diagram under this on Messick's parts listing: "New Holland: New Holland (715414006) - 105A-SERIES 40" REAR MOUNT TILLER (6/99-12/03) Parts Diagrams", and then on this page "(006) - ROTOR - 40" & 52" (06/01/1999 -)" part number 14 on that diagram.
