how to replace torsion springs on craftsman mower deck?

best lawn mower with roller image

I have a model 917.252530 craftsman riding lawn mower. I bought the deck cam roller kit for a 42" deck the kit is no.151785. It does not show how to replace these springs. I have looked all over the internet inc. sears web site and cannot find a picture that you can see! Can you help?

Answer
I looked at my sear's tractor and it doesn't have the same springs. I went to the sears parts site and the photo of the deck there is iffy at best. You couldn't even tell if both sides used the same type of spring. I know the springs on my deck don't provide a lot of tension on the brake arms but I couldn't find a good diagram either. I am lucky here because I have a local shop that would show me how they go. Hope you get it figured out. Sorry I couldn't help.

im planning to build a putting green in my backyard this spring. Im going to use bent grass, and I need a mower. definitely looking to spend under 300$ for the mower.

Answer
Because it needs mowing everyday at 250 mm (3/16) you will need a greens mower with a heavy steel drum roller and grass catcher. It's a very expensive mower. Start calling golf courses to see if any have used ones for sale. Also call John Deere and Toro for refurbished lease greens mowers.
