Anyone have a line on Recoil Spring Assembly for a JD 350 Crawler. Looking for new or used in good shape. I have found some new ones but I think their a little high.

I appreciate all your help here in the forum. Being new to the world of crawlers I'm glad to get all the info I can. I had hoped it would be just learning how to operator the thing.

Ken, I would like to thank you for your reply. My friend was a JD mechanic for 25 years and has all the books for the machine. Now he works on his own. I took the belly pan down one so I could drain the transmission which in turn I had to drop the draw bar that was in the way of the tranny plug. ( s...
