I am replacing the blade brake arms on an older model Sears 42" mower deck. The blade brakes are engaged with a pair helical coil springs. Does anybody have a photo of how the helical springs are mounted/installed on the blade brake arms?

I should have taken a photo before disassembly but instead decided to trust my memory. BIG MISTAKE!!!

Model number would help. I have a 42" deck in my garage but Im not digging it out unless they are close.

It's the same (or similar) model of deck being discussed in this link here.

The blade brakes use 'torsion' style springs. The link has the photos that I need to see but they won't load on my computer. If they load for anyone else perhaps you could re-post them here...

Best picture I could find.

Thanks for that. It is most appreciated!

I also found these pics from a YouTube video.
