Default Spring Assist
I got 2 of these springs from Rob Houtz that were supposed to be for a Spring for the assist for an Original. As you can see, they are way to long. Can I cut them to make it work? I also have 2 if anyone needs one, that is if I can cut them to size?

I would guess that they aren't going to work, spring steel is very difficult to work with, very hard. Did you ask Houtz if they possibly sent the wrong ones by accident?

Yes I did and sent that same picture to him. I haven't heard back, but it is Sunday. Hopefully, he will respond tomorrow. If he doesn't, I'll send it once more, then it's goes on to Pay Pal. I have never dealt with him, but I would guess he's a good guy. He is promoted here in the sponsors adds?

Ronnie did you specifically order the spring assist spring for the O? The one you got looks like the later springs for the later model assists.

Oh yes I surely did Alvy. Guess I will give him a call Monday. I don't want to mess the springs up, they are correct for something?

And this was the best thing I have found all year! Since I'm talking to myself, I'll be quite now. I should say Rob made things right with the wrong parts.

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.
