RE: (ET) Wanted: Deck shock assembly

["Chapin, Tim" <tchapin umich edu>]

Larry Elie sent this email this summer..
Part of the email follows:

The springs?  Well guess what?  The rear gas filled shocks for a Ford F150
will fit just fine thank-you.  
Same length; similar rubber bushing size.  BTW; the springs on Wheel Horse
have a rubber bushing not the 
swivel.  You have to make slightly longer frame pins to do it.  They will
rub on the bumper just as bad though.  That's right, a real shock absorber;
the gas works as well as any spring for return.  I have a 
set in yellow.  A bit stiffer if you run into anything, but not bad.  My
deck brace takes care of that, 
and can save an old deck as well.  I have to post some pictures soon.  I
haven't found my gauge scans yet 
either, but probably put it on a backup CD.

Subject: (ET) Wanted: Deck shock assembly

Well, this evening while working on my deck I discovered that in 
addition to ripping out the mount, the shock eye was also broken as well.

So before I go to Mr. Bill, does anyone have a shock/strut for the front 
mower deck?

Chris
