The tension adjusting rod with a 1"+ nut on its end that's threaded into the rear of the large compound spring that is connected above the rear wheel at the back end and to the bottom of the table (pto side) at the front end has torn away from the angle bracket at the rear. BTW, the bracket is too light, hence the failure.
Any suggestions how to get it back in place as the threaded rod can not be backed out far enough to enable positioning it where it belongs? All I can think of is to stretch the spring somehow but that seems a little difficult and dangerous to do.

You're rite about stretching it - not a chance! :~(
It tore thru the angle iron bracket where you turn the 1 5/16" tension adjusting nut at the back of the machine.
I've decided to cut and lengthen the 7/8" threaded rod - that's the best solution I can come up with. The rod should have been longer in the first place. I'm not sure how it would have been assembled at the factory the way it's made.

That threaded rod/bolt thru the spring is about 2 foot to 30" long from the factory.

Bottom end of spring is held in place by a horizontal pin with cotter pins in each end.

Hope ya get 'er,

Allan

I measured the rod - it's only about 20" long. That's the problem. I don't think it's meant to be withdrawn all the way out. It turns really hard near the end. It might be peened over or welded inside the spring - no idea. I plan to cut it near the adjusting nut leaving enough thread to install a coupler and add some additional length so I can re-attach it to the angle bracket which I'll replace with heavier iron.

You won't be "stretching" that spring; you'll never move that big honker.

Guess I don't understand exactly where it tore away. On the top side or down at the eye on the bottom?

The only way to work with that spring is to unthread that long rod. Then you can do anything ya like with it. Kinda heavy, but manageable.
