LA110 spring

[MAGGIEB]

I found a painted yellow 4½ inch long spring on top of deck. The PTO spring is fine attached.
Anyone know where this spring belongs?

Kinda looks like the one at the bottom of the PTO lever
#13?

I just looked at my 2007 LA120 42” deck. No painted springs. Two springs for PTO, 1 on deck for belt tension and 1 on PTO lever (which is the correct length.) Plus one much longer spring for drive belt idler.

That looks like a parking brake or cruse control spring

Bert is correct, Parking brake does have a spring, hard to see but appears to be the same length but not painted. One end is not looped.

Looks like this arm tensioner spring. https://www.greenpartstore.com/John-Deere-Idler-Arm-Spring-GX10120.html
