Need Compression Springs for IH #8 Field Cultivator

Hardwood62 · Mar 29, 2011

Wondering if any has or knows where to get the down pressure springs for this cultivator. According to the measurements they can be from 10 to 12 inches long and need about 1 inch ID. Even been trying to find new ones that would work but have not had much luck so if anybody has an idea please let me know.

I got some springs from Hardware Products LLP last year. I actually got the springs in too big of I.D. I should have called rather than just went online. Some of the straps were replaced with common 1 inch steel and I over compensated in my size calculation for replacement springs. The bill for all 26 was around $100 us.

good luck

We replace 11 on our CCA cultivator, we checked for the original springs,but wanted 35.00 Ea. So we went to JD Parts and ordered new springs for a different application but was for a JD.Cultivator.Their Part # was S158M
Measurements are as follows
Wire Dia 0.135 IN.
Outside Dia 1.00 IN.
Free Length 13.00 In.
Spring Rate 20.500(LBF/IN)
Number Of Coils 38.00

Price here was $8.75 each.
Picture of the green one is the one for above Spec.
Hope this helps, LOU

Thanks guys - after a lot of searching I think I found what I need and at a pretty good price. Found them at www.springsfast.com for $7 each. 12' long, 1.4" OD, 6.5lb/in, 1/8 wire. Only catch is there is a $25 minimum ... so I got a couple of spares. Hope they work!
