hi everyone ,i have taken my deck off replaced bearings blades etc,
but i cant see where the under carriage springs go , idler ok,just the ones that support or allow the deck to lift etc , there is a long one and two short ones ,short ones are the same ,
i checked the mtd site but their online manual didnt show them
thank you ian

Hi Ian, and welcome to Outdoorking. Is your White actually the same as an MTD model? Can you give us a link to see the manual for the MTD it is the same as? Is there a White manual, and can you give us a link for that? At the moment I have no real idea what your mower looks like or how it works. Unless there is someone here who has or used to have one with the White model number you have given, we have no starting point. We currently have no White ride-on manuals here.

hi grumpy thanks for getting back to me ,how do i add an image ??

At last, an easy question! If you look at the Quick Reply box, you'll see a row of icons above the typing space. The fifth one from the left is for adding images. Just click it, and in the screen that opens click Browse, find the file on your local hard drive, click Add File from Your PC, then repeat for up to ten images. When finished click All Done.

thanks for that did what you said now where have my images gone lol

hope these images come through

hi grumpy my photos are jpeg so cannot load images , anyway the deck model is an 805 deck, and the model is a 600 series ,
they call it a transmatic front engine lawn tractor, does this help,regards ian

Ian,

Below is a picture of the springs from the parts list which show where they go. Hope that this helps.

thanks bruce but this is one of the diagrams that i downloaded ,
but it isnt showing the springs that connect to the deck it only shows the linkage springs
thanks for trying regards ian

Ian,

That is the only springs and if you look at the picture you will see that the linkage fit direct to the deck which the springs are attached to. Are you talking about springs for belt tensionsioning and blade brake etc?

hi bruce the springs i am trying to locate are the ones that assist the deck when either raising or lowering ,
there is a long one and two shorter ones that actually conect to the deck and chassis , and i believe they help pull the deck forward or backwards ?? ian

re springs, would anybody who has a white/mtd rideon 600 series please check under the deck and see where these springs are located ,
i believe there is one long and two short that attach to the deck itself i maybe wrong but if you could check it wpould be appreciated regards ian

Ian,

Where did you get the model number from?

That model deck does NOT have springs attached according to the MTD/White.

I have rechecked and unless you supply the correct model number you will continue to go round in circles.

thanks for rechecking bruce ,just went down to local mtd dealer he seems to think the springs in question where probably added by a previous owner he said some people even fit old trampalene spring s for whatever reason , on the weekend i will retry without said springs and see what happens , thanks again ian

Ian, the tenant's improvements seldom have a positive effect, so putting it back to the way the parts list shows is likely to be a step toward getting everything working properly.

Ahhhh!! tenants improvements....don't you just love 'em!!
