The big return spring on the inside of the housing broke, and the IH dealer told me they don't make them anymore. I would have to find a parted out tractor. What I would like to know is, do you guys think I could TIG weld the spring I have and have a part that would hold up??? This is the cone shaped spring about 3 inches long. Part # 358718 R1
Thanks in advance Steve

Hi Steve,

Are you talking about a bendix spring? I doubt it.

Spring broke in the middle or at the end?

You have a Tig set up or do you have to pay to have it done? If you have to pay then find another spring as you probably will have to make the repair a couple times to get it correct and it would be cheaper to find a replacement.

Any excessive heating of a spring will cause loss of tension at the heat effected zone of the weld. It may be possible to "heat sink" or minimize the heat effected area. welding supply vendors have a putty-like material that can be used. The good news is that the spring will probably not break in that stress zone again but will be "softer" and not as able to hold its true radius. Hope this helps. Find a qualified tig-welder and let him do his thang.. LOL
