Will be off-line from late October until perhaps December, but will advise whenthis happens.If all else fails, I'll measure my spring and go to Martin Farm Equipmentto find the part for you. I'm sure there others in the discussion groupwho would like to have a J.D. part number, also.Cheers, Graham________________________________________________________________________________

Issue #50, 1995, p. 5 andw/pic on p. 11: "Don Hicks (p.o.BOX 127, Hartford ,AL 36344) built thistailwheel assembly with plans from Yesterday's Wings. Coil spring is cut toThe 7 " spring section measures 170-190lbs. fully compressed. Tubing from strut housing was used toprovide upper and lower spring retainer sockets."Issue #53, 1996, p.13 has a letter from Bruce Heinninger, 10613 W.98th Ter.,Overland Park , KS. 66214: "John Deere sells a spring that's a perfect match for the specs; its part number is T 143444, and it costs about $9.00. Its outer dia. is 1.5in.; full length ( no load ) is 6.73" ; the coil itself is .191" thick. I'vetested its compresed load, and it almost gets totally compressed under my weight (c.210 lbs.). I don't know what the spring is used for in a John Deere, butKen Perkins tells me that the spring for a 1929 JD rake is a perfect match.Maybe "that's what it's for."Hope these pieces help you out. I've been in this chat group forabout two weeksnow and have enjoyed reading the stuff. I'm very new to computers andhave neversuccessfully sent an email by myself. Hope this works and this allwasn't a waste oftime! John Faymemorized and can't________________________________________________________________________________
