Default Narrow frame hydraulic unit "w" spring
Bought a new return spring for my cub 123 from Patton acres. He told me he had a nos one reproduced and has never had a problem with the springs. Says he sells a few a week. When I went to install mine it seems like it's too long and the bend is a 1/4" off. Anyone else have this problem? The guy I talked to was very nice when i explained it to him. He said no problem send it back and he will refund me my money. He also said he is the only one he knows that has these springs and sells to all the other venders. So I either need to find the correct spring or make this one work. It's spring steel so can I just heat it up and rebend it? I will post a pict when my phone charges.

1/4 longer at the 90*. I think he may have had a bad run or something. He said no one else has said anything like that.

I have never heard of Rich ever jipping anyone.

I'm sure he will make it good.

That is not the issue. I just want to fix my tractor. He said if I'm not happy send it back. Wondering if anyone else has ran into this.:American Flag 1

My experience with spring steel is bend it cold, heating it makes it loose it's spring temper.
Is it installed correctly? (I'm not familiar with that setup)

Yes it is installed correctly. I left the old one on so I would know exactly how to replace it.

Kinda looks like maybe you do not have #36 sleeve inside of the spring?

But my eye tells me the spring you have is no where near the same as the first pic from cubcadetman.com
Yours is shaped like the springs shown in the pump.

Update,I broke the first spring so I had to order another one. Fits just like the first one i bought from Paton acres. Anyone else having issues with fitment? Do I have a different pump than original? Really need to get this figured out

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.
