Alex, a search of the forum using the words "spring" and "assist" with the search set to "and" instead of "or" would have turned up that photo. Having said that, there are a bunch of us here that don't mind doing the searching and posting. Kinda what we're here for.

Josh,

Kraig,

Thanks for posting those photos of the fix I did, I did not have my travel drive with me last night and I belive that is where I have those photos stored.

3/4" unless someone changed the spindles at some point.
Jack it up, take the wheel bolt out with a 9/16" wrench and measure it to make sure.

Have a 1650 [1977] that for some reason, I'm unable to get any juice to any thing except the front pto pully, and hour meter. Nothing to the lights or starter. It has a recent starter, new ignition switch, new solenoid,I checked and cleaned all the grounds that I could find. Also bolted the negative battery cable to the frame instead of the original fender/frame grounding place, and also tried a new battery [from another cub] and so far nothing has worked. I'm out of ideas. Anyone have any suggestions? Also used a jumper wire to by pass the safety switch, thinking that could be it, still nothing. Thanks!

Check the notoriously rotten PTO switch.
BTDT way to many times.

If I had your problem I would check the safety switch for the PTO and the Brake safety switch as these will keep a Cub from starting. i know there are guys here that can better answer your questions.You can jump these out temporary to see if they are causing and issue. good luck. Don T
