Hi Greg,>Does anyone know the John Deere part number for the tailwheel spring?>I have been searching BPA newsletters and archived e-mails to no>avail.>Alternative suggestions accepted.Its been a few months since I looked into this, but I seem to recall that a company called "Century Spring" had a couple of compression springs in stock that closely matched the spring specified in the plans. I have not yet gone so far as to ask for a price. If you do, and there's anything suitable, please let us all know. The URL that I've pasted below allows you to specify various spring parameters (length, diameter, spring constant...). If you input some broad ranges for these quantities that generally match the piet tailspring, you get a list of the parts they manufacture. http://www.centuryspring.com/newonlinec ... lt.aspHope that helps.--Peter________________________________________________________________________________
