hurry, 25 minutes left and no bids
Does that spring have enough strength to do what you want it to?

I had an IH spring on my 122 and the same spring shown on my 125 ( maybe it was the other way around? ) and couldn't tell the difference between the two using the same implements.

The only difference is the bolt on the spring.

If a source for the correct type (strength/wire size etc.) spring could be found, these would not be that hard to fabricate.

Which spring is it from TSC??
Got a part number or UBC code by any chance?
I'm a long way from any of their stores where I live.

If your low cost attempt doesn't pan out, don't hesitate to get a spring assist setup. It will last you forever and it will save your arm. I've had one for 30 years and it makes the job easy without winches, wires and hoses.

Now I'm not saying that if I had a nice hydraulic setup I wouldn't take it but compared to the grunt method the spring is super!

Added benefit, your arm doesn't ache for days after plowing. Good luck.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
