cat 15 leaf spring

[warren frost]

I am restoring a cat 15 crawler tractor and having problem removing the transverse leaf spring supporting the motor.The motor is supported.The u bolt nuts,rebound spring and its linkages have been removed but I cant slide the main leaf spring through the u bolts so that it slides out the side of the machine.Is there anything else holding the spring in place,Icant see anything?Thanks.

I cannot remember the spring set up but by the rule of thumb there must be something holding the spring leaves centre, either a bolt or a dimple, if it's a bolt it might be going through the supplementary spring as well, just my 2 cents.
