I've got a project almost completed except for this one detail.
When removing the brake tensioner I neglected to note the position of the tiny brake tensioner spring that keeps the shoe anvil in the correct position to engage when the foot brake is applied.
Of all of the different models over the decades I've found many video repair playbacks that show the position for my tensioner but not which holes into the assembly the little spring is attached.
See attached pic & part #32 and tell this absent minded grease monkey where I might fit said
spring.

Finally got it placed. No where do any of the diagrams show or say on which side of the trans does the spring fit.
Turns out it fits to the right side, tractor standing up, of the trans.
Guess it's what I get for saying:
"Sure, I'll take a look at your mower!"
Sigh!
Sometimes NO is a difficult thing to say.
