ANSWER: Hello Gary:

>>Some of these Springs Fit into a Slot in the Deck.
>>For Better Assistance, Send me the Model Numbers Off the Mower, Please. With these I can Locate the Proper Manual and Better Assist you. The Model Numbers are Usually Located Under the Seat (Ride On Mowers) on a Sticker or Tag on the Body.

Answer
Hi Again Gary:

>>Thanks.
>>The Spring Attaches to the Heigth Adjustment Lever and is Supposed to Hold the Lever Locked in Position.
>>I have Seen some of these Springs Attached to the Lever by Simply Hooking Around the Lever or some of the Levers have a Cotter Pin that the Spring Hooks into the Eye of the Cotter Pin.
>>If you Hit a Snag or this Does Not Correct the Problem,  I Hope to be Here if You Require More Assistance. Hope this Helps. Let me Know What Happens, Please. May the All Mighty Bless You and Yours. Be Safe and Happy. Thanks.

Good Luck
