208-4 Clutch Spring Hole

Hi Guys, new here. About a year ago I bought a house which came with a nice 208-4. The tractor was abandoned by the owners of the house in the shed as it "wouldn't start anymore".

Turns out mice had made a nest in the engine shroud and chewed through the spark plug wire. A new coil and battery later and she has been serving me well for a year.

 

The other day though, after stepping on the clutch and letting go, the tractor didn't move anymore. Came to find out my clutch spring had broke (found part of it in the yard).

I ordered a new OEM spring and it arrived. The problem I am having is I can't seem to find where the other end of the spring attaches to the frame.

I have a diagram I found online but it simply says "hole in frame opening".

 

Does anyone know or have a similar model they can look at and guide me where this spring goes?

See attached diagram.

 

Thanks

On my C – 161 there's a small hole in a gusset on top of the rear axle right next to the gearbox. My diagram looks a little different than yours though so I'm not sure if that will be the same for you.

      417A Clutch Seized When Mowing, How Do I Fix?
      By the jeep driver
      My daughter was using the Wheel Horse rider to mow, I was push mowing.  She drives over to me and says, "Dad, the blades aren't turning." I look at the mower, she's got the blades engaged (lever forward) but nothing is moving.  I disengage the blades, and re-engage... nothing.  No movement from the belt nor clutch.  Then I notice the smell, and look closer, the belt is so hot is melting on the clutch.  Or rather, the clutch is so hot it's melting the belt.  Melting occurred. 

      While the clutch is disengaged, I can spin the clutch freely; and whilst it's engaged, it won't move. 

      So, what did I do now?  Peter told me to lube that needle bearing, but I couldn't find a write up/how to anywhere, so I was putting it off until after the leaves were done falling in the Fall.  I haven't taken anything off yet, other than the pins that hold the pinion and such, and the little brake pad.  I see there are two snap rings, assume they come off, and then the assembly slides out as a whole? 

       
      Some pictures of the clutch, can anyone tell if it's usable from them?

      416-8 Clutch linkage Problem
      By RJ Hamner
      Its been a while since I was able to work on my 416-8 rebuilt and right now the few brain cells are having a tough time.
      I am in the process of putting the wiring harness back in and the problem is the clutch safety switch.
      The arm with the idler wheel that engages the switch is over ridding the switch arm.
      I had tried adjusting the rod from the peddle to the arm but no matter my adjustment I still have the problem
      I am kinda at my wits end on this one.
      Any help will be greatly appreciated
      Bob

      308-8 Drive Belt Slipping
      By John A
      The clutch spring  on my 308-8 broke, so the tractor stopped dead.   It was easy to see the broken red spring,  after I removed the right rear wheel.   I  was able to order a replacement spring which I replaced today.  Problem now there is too much slack on the drive belt.  The tractor will move, but barely as if the drive belt is not tight and slipping.  It seems that the clutch pulley isn't applying enough force against the belt.  I have  tried adjusting the clutch rod but that doesn't seem to make a difference.  It only changes the position of the clutch pedal .  I don't see any other adjustment option to put more pressure on the drive belt.  The belt is old, but seems acceptable.  Before the clutch spring, broke, the tractor would jump out in any gear.  No slippage.

      Spring missing!
      By KC9KAS
      My 875 is missing the small spring that is attached to the cam/neutral plate. 
      The part number is 1230 and NLA.
      Anyone have one or know the dimensions of the spring?
      Thank you!

      Idler tension spring for a 7-1252 tiller
      By Pat_In_Denver
      Looking to buy a replacement spring for belt idler on my tiller.  Tried using one from a mower deck, but it was too strong and bends the idler out just enough that the belt walks off the flat idler.  I've done an internet search for the original part number (6135) and came up blank.
       
      Any suggestions?  Is there a Napa or Stens equivalent?
       
      Thanks!
