How do you put a clutch return spring on a Craftsman lawn mower?

Answer

When working on a Craftsman Lawn Tractor Model 917.259290, how do I install a clutch return spring? There is a tab on the clutch/brake shaft with a hole in it where the spring is supposed to go in order for it to work. Attach the spring to the tab using the tab as a guide. Pull the spring toward the back of the tractor in a rather straight path, then search for the point where the other end of the spring joins to anything else.

 

What is the location of the spring on a mower deck in this case?

The lift spring is the spring that is attached to the deck handle and is responsible for lifting and lowering the deck. I can see in the instructions where to attach one side, but there is no specific information about where to attach the tiny side in the manual. In order to connect the lift assist spring to the tractor, it will go from the lever base connect point all the way to the back of the tractor.

 

How do you engage the blades on a Craftsman riding lawn mower, apart than the method described above?

 The plunger may be found at the very top of the attachment lift lever. To lower the cutting blade, press the plunger inward with your thumb and pull the attachment lift lever back, or toward you, as needed. Release the plunger and the attachment lift lever from their positions. To make the cutting blade revolve, pull the attachment clutch switch outward to the “Engage” position.

Removing the drive belt, pulling the pins out on the rear of each side of the deck, and moving the deck forward to unhook the front hanging rod, pulling out bracket on left side of tractor and pivoting the front hanger to remove, turning tractor wheels to one side, and sliding out the deck are all steps involved.
