SC Pressure plate spring

[color=darkred:7b2be7d301]Well, par for the course, I took apart my pressure plate off of my '44 SC to free up the button and adjusting ring. It was a oily mess, so I was cleaning it (and my hands) with paper towels. One of the 3 springs hold the front to the back must have gotten in amongst the towels, and since I was burning sticks that had fallen over the winter, I decided to spruce up the shop. I went to reassemble the pressure plate, but could only find 2 springs. About 2 A.M, I woke up and figured out what had happened. Next morning, I took a magnet out to the burn pile, and sure enough, there it was. It's not as springy any more. I visited auto parts stores, a transmission shop, a small engine / chain saw parts dealer, 4 hardware store and can not find any springs that are anywhere close enough to work.

Does anyone know where a spring for this can be found??? Somebody probably has something somewhere, but so far, I can't find one...

PS... Does this type of thing only happen to anyone else, or is it just me.... Whatever I'm working on is [b:7b2be7d301]NEVER[/b:7b2be7d301] as easy as it should be.........[/color:7b2be7d301]

I needed one for a neighbors SC a couple years ago. I had to buy a complete pressure plate on Ebay to get the springs. The Case part number comes up a larger spring that will not fit. Good Luck DK

Craig,
When I start a project .. I just go straight to PLAN .. D or E .. first ones never turn out right so I have to try again...
So don't feel along on doing the wrong thing...

I have some springs, or compleat pressure plate.

I got a call from my Dad last night and he has come across one so I'll have it in a few days.
Thanks for the replys.

By the way, after I brought the tractor into my shop, I aired up the tires to 10 lbs so I could move it easier and the next day, one of the rears went down....... It just keeps getting better and better!!!! Wouldn't be bad if this was an isolated incident.....
