The Tuul Crib 7,337 #1 Posted August 27, 2020 (edited) I have been looking for these two springs for my charger. I've contacted A-to-Z tractors and I have Lincoln looking for them. I need the one for the parking brake and The other one that connects on the foot pedal brake. Any sources or where to find these springs would be helpful. Thanx Edited August 27, 2020 by The Tuul Crib Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Achto 27,756 #2 Posted August 27, 2020 (edited) I took measurements to figure out the length and went to my local hardware store. Didn't necessarily score on my first or second attempt, but I did eventually win. Edited August 27, 2020 by Achto 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not to hijack Randy's thread but the problem on my charger is that the brake pedal does not return to center.. I assume I'm missing some sort of spring. First hydro I've had so I'm not familiar with the setup. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The spring that pulls the pedal back is the one in the bottom pic above hooks into #110 It is WH #1230 Daveoman has an external fix in this pic. Hooking the correct spring inside is a PIA I have some springs I got from Mcmaster to use inside like 1230 you want one??? 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The E-Brake spring is the one in this picture. It holds belt tension on when the brake is released. Also the lower rocker shaft holds the E-brake lever down when the brake is in the release position. When the brake is set the rocker shaft pivots back and the spring pulls up on the E-brake lever to set the brake inside the transmission. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Takes a fair amount of gumption to pull up or down on that lever and I'm wondering if there's some linkage worn somewhere. I'll check it out. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll check it out They usually don't move real easy. It's kind of a pull up & pivot back motion to get the two arms attached to the handle to swing correctly. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gt14rider 797 #20 Posted August 28, 2020 Made some new pivot pins, going to try bronze bushing on e-brake side of pivot. Made bushings for rods. Welded eggshaped holes in side plates, added grommets to the holes 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
