Mystery Spring on Farmall M

My dad is restoring a "49 Farmall M and has come
across a spring that we cant for the life of us
figure out where it goes. I dont have the spring in
front of me to take a picture so a drew one (sorry
kind of crude. There is a piece that fits inside
the spring the almost resembles a cotter pin but it
is not. Does anyone have any idea? thanks in
advance!
 
Going to guess if the round wire like piece is U shaped with turned out ears the choke rod passes through it. Goes in the hole of bracket bolted to the lower air cleaner, steering and tank support.
 
Ooops - sorry about the picture....

It kinda, sorta, resembles the spring on an early Cub Cadet to hold the grill in place. But not quiet the same, but close.
 
There is alot of springs on a farmall M. There are springs on rods that hold down to the hood on that farmall M. Here is a picture of a farmall M hold down rod to the hood of the Farmall M. Good luck finding out what the spring fits Brent

Not to argue or anything, but I've never seen anything like that on the choke rod of a Farmall M. '49 or otherwise.
 
Would need to check my memory to be positive, but pretty sure a 49 used this. Other end of bracket was used for the shutter control rod if equipped.
Lots of those are lost or left off after repair work.

What Dave said. Here's how it mounts on my '49M. As you can see, I rounded off the corners a little.
Sorry for the fuzzy pictures. HTH




Best regards

Got one on my 1950 too, so I guess many may be missing.
