Broken (A) Manual lever spring

J Strickland · Jun 22, 2014

I was tearing down a manual lift for a 1941 Model A tractor. Naturally when you get to the last thing that is were it goes wrong. The carriage bolt that connects the big spring to the lift lever broke. I thought that it looked like it could be screwed out, so muscle and a pipe wrench broke it off even with the bottom of the spring. Any suggestion how to get it out? There are two springs the little one that controls the front left cultivators. It came off easy but not the big one. Does it even unscrew out of the spring to start with?

Soundsw like the original bolt was replaced with a carriage bolt. Those can be trouble but now that the bolt is broke you can remove the spring. Some have screwed the lug out with the broken bolt then it would be an easy fix. You can drill a hole for the easyout then heat and cool and then try the easy out. You will need to make more threads on a new bolt to have enough threads so you can adjust the tension properly adjusted the cult will lift easy. I liked mine until i sold it now i use the Cub I do have the lift levers for that cult.
