gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,031 #3 Posted February 6, 2016 The spring part number for the 79360 snowthrower model is 78-7480. Don't have anything on this one. Earlier models use spring # 6651 which replaced # 5185 Spring Extension 5.75" between hooks, .100" wire, .875" coil OD, .675 coil ID, 4.350" coil length, 43-1/2 coils Does not answer your question but gives a rough idea.

randyh 4 #4 Posted February 6, 2016 Thanks that is what i needed to know. I thought it was around 6 inches. Mine had broke and i rebent a hook on it to finish the job and couldnt get a good measurement. Now I can go to the farmstoreand get a replacement Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
