People,
Have a MTD model 667. 1998. I replaced the deck belt and in the process I had to loosen the belt tension in order to pop on the belt to the main pulley, so I released that big tough spring that clips to the left side of the transmission bracket. I neglected to take note of where it hooks onto the other end. Now I have no idea. The parts diagram is not very clear. According to the parts diagram that spring is #34. Can anyone help with perhaps a better diagram showing where the other end of the spring clips onto?
The only logical spot I can determine is a rod closest to the rear bracket- on which the spring end could clip onto nicely. Is that it? If so, it is brutal pulling the spring back far enough to clip onto the bracket hook. How do you do it? Crow bar?
Thanks!
