Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Electric Clutch Spring, craftsman lawn mower, electric clutch

Question
I have a Craftsman lawn mower model 917.274040. The electric clutch spring ext. has slipped off..  I know where the end attaches with the cotter pin - where does the other end attach? Do you have diagram?  The Craftsman manual does not show where the other end attaches - or I am not seeing where the other end attaches. I don't consider myself mechanically illiterate.

Answer
Hello Sharon:

Sorry for the Delay. This Question was Located in the Question Pool and I can Only Answer Questions from the Question Pool when I am Not Answering Questions here or at the Other Site I Answer Questions at. Are you Asking About the Extension Spring on the Deck that Attaches to the Idler Arm that Keeps the Belt Tight? To View a Breakdown of this Unit Go to this Site Addy, http://www.searspartsdirect.com/partsdirect/index.action?sid=PSHx20080114x00001 and Enter the Model Numbers and Click Search. From this Page you can View Diagrams and Parts Lists for you Equipment Using the "View Sub Components" Section Near the Bottom Left. If Yes, then 1 End Attaches to the Idler Arm and on Some Models, the Spring Attaches to a Slot in the Deck. Please, Do Not Hesitate, If you Hit a Snag or this Does Not Correct the Problem, I am Here if You Require More Assistance. Hope this Helps. Let me Know What Happens, Please. May the All Mighty Bless You and Yours. Thanks.

Good Luck
