Spring Assist Question
 

Hi... My 125 was missing the rear panel that goes between the fenders, so I picked one up and went to put it on but found this spring assist bracket is in the way. After some research here I see that this spring that attaches to the implement handle appears to be an original accessory to aid lifting heavy implements. Is it installed correctly? If so does that mean I should not have the rear panel fitted if I have the spring assist? Thanks.

Here is a link to the instructions in the tech section of implements here on this site, says the rear panel is to be removed ! hope this helps .:beerchug:

Thanks for the quick answer. Shame I sourced and repainted a rear panel for nothing but oh well.

The 125 I just got has a spring assist and the rear panel.

Yes it does! I couldn't get the bottom panel bolts in with the spring bracket in the way but will try again tomorrow. Or maybe just use the top panel bolts, which in retrospect should be fine. That panel is just decorative after all.

My 123 with the spring assist on the lift looks exactly like that 125 in the picture, as did my 125 before I put a hydraulic lift on it.

That looks better. Attaches with just top panel bolts with spring assist.

Yeah. Dad's 125 has a spring assist and a top panel, has had it for years. Glad you got it figured out.
