Now while assy/dissy of the unit,
those 6 springs inside,--- (3 small and 3 larger) are called Jesus springs for a reason,---- as you will say "jesus" where did they fly to???
as they fly to unfound places in your shirt,under the bench, on the windshield wiper of your truck, in your hair.
Laugh if you like, but you will understand when it happens.
I have a set on hand just bacause.
FWIW usually the larger JD dealers have them in stock just for that reason.
Carefully disassemble it and be doubly careful on reassy.
3 of them are on top of the other 3.
And it is not unheard of to find someone previously put the sandwich together and a spring slipped and got crushed.
pay special attention to the valve plates as only one way is correct & clocked
And SCRIBE the plates on ther outside of the body before you dissassemble.
it is not difficult, just pay attention and follow the service manual.
