can someone post a pic of the spring adjustment attaching points and maybe a pic off the jd website showing this area. off a google search, any website i visit sends me to join and sign in to the john deere website which i rather not have to do.
I recently visited the official site to get information about the john deere 3032. Maybe it will be useful for you, I'm copying it here.
