Mower deck LT160 - spring connects to...?

[stargazingcamper]

A spring on our LT160 (42C) has jumped off its place. It's number 19 on this picture.

One side attaches to the PTO arm. To what does the other side attach?

Hi Mechanic Mark,

Thanks for your help.

Are you talking about this picture?

The spring will not reach that far.

Compression spring 10 on this page sort of spans the distance you mention.

I'm looking for where to place the other end of spring 19.

Any more ideas?
