?? Sears Suburban deck parts ??

[Joel WA]

I'm in need of the 2 springs for the tension pulleys of my mower deck. Model #917251041. It is a 48' deck. Anyone have a part number for them or a source? Maybe a picture from parts book or part description? How about lbs. of tension on them if I have to try out some off the hardware store shelf?

Thanks Joel

Sears has a "parts" website, I can't remember it,
but the store can tell you. Someone on this forum
will know it.
You plug in moder and serial numbers and get
good drawings and part numbers, and then can
order parts right there, with any credit card.

Sears has discontinued the spring. Fortunately, I stocked up a couple while still available for my 5 mowers, 3 42" and 2 48". The spring has an overall length of 5", the coil part is 3" long and 3/4" diameter. The wire diameter is about 14 gauge. I don't know how to measure spring tension, but it's fairly stiff, similar to a brake return spring.
