I don’t know why people think YT is better than google? Not sure how recent the attached catalog is but they show it at the bottom of page 4, so there is a possibility they may have parts for them. That catalog references ISO9001 which was started in 1987, so 33 years old or less. I found a 2006 product catalog from them and the track jacks are no longer shown. Their contact information is on the back cover.

Google was the first thing I did.didn’t see anything on duff Norton other than the jacks are no longer made.simplicity jacks are similar.also googled the type jack with similar results but could have missed something.there are plenty for sale but I didn’t see any parts

You understand that I suggest calling the company shown on the linked catalog? But that might be a bust, maybe they currently only build hydraulic jacks. This link looks more current. Duff Norton jacks take 2

Did you look on the Sterling Rail site? Don't think you'll find that particular spring listed, but you'd be able to find someone who may have your springs or know where to find them or an alternative.

If anything, there's a listing for a couple Burro 40s. One even has a fresh 4/71 in it.

And so many folks give up when their first search comes up a dry hole. Searching with google or any other search engine is an art, not a science guaranteed to result in success on the first try. You may have to be persistent and keep after it a while.

Not sure what it looks like, but could you get a piece of spring wire and make one. I found a piece of heavy cable on the roadside this winter, took one strand home. It is very hard and would probably make great springs!
