Broken spring

Toby873 · Jan 22, 2008

I found a broken spring under my clutch pedal. I can not see immediately where it went. It is a bright metal spring maybe 2 inchs long about 3/4 inch diameter. Where does it go and what does it do? Clutch seems to work fine without it but dont want to ruin something if I can help it.

Toby- Are you sure it is not a strap that holds the clutch petal down for long storage periods? Thats what it sounds like, Take a peak in your manuel

toby-the spring is the clutch return spring. mine broke this past summer, went to dealer for new one. take off dash to see better, put new one on,good to go. 15min. job, about 6 dollar cost.

Go to TSC if you can. Mine was twice that much at a dealer.

I had the exact same thing happen about 6 weeks ago. You will need to remove the dash to access the location to replace the spring. My dealer is not close so I took the spring ( in 2 pieces) and went to my local farmers COOP and found one similar. I bought 2 since they were $1.50 each so if / when it happens again I will have an immediate replacement. FYI mine broke with about 110 hours on the tractor.
