SPINJIM 1,981 #27 Posted October 17, 2021 (edited) Here's the pictures of the second coil spring that I use on my 417-8 with the 2-stage snowthrower. It wasn't standard for the snowthrower, but I did see it somewhere in the Wheel Horse literature. It's really needed with the electric lift.

Mine has one too as do many others. It keeps the blower level because of the lift forces on the opposite side and the weight distribution. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
