Product Information

Full details

The Mountfield Transmission Tension Spring (122450434/0) is an essential replacement component designed for homeowners and professional landscapers who rely on Mountfield lawnmowers to maintain their drive system functionality. This genuine part ensures your mower's transmission maintains correct tension, providing consistent forward movement and reliable power delivery during operation. While it is a high-quality, precision-engineered part, users must ensure they have the correct tools and mechanical confidence to access the drive assembly, as installation requires internal housing access.

FAQs

How do I know if this is the right spring for my mower?

Compare your mower's model number and the existing spring's dimensions against the part number 122450434/0. You can also consult your mower's parts diagram.

Does this spring come pre-lubricated?

No, it is a bare metal component. Applying a small amount of corrosion-resistant grease can help prevent rust over time.

Is it difficult to replace this spring?

It is of moderate difficulty; it requires basic mechanical skills to reach the transmission area and safely tension the spring.

Why should I use a genuine part instead of a universal spring?

Genuine Mountfield parts are calibrated to the exact spring constant and dimensions required for your machine's drive system, ensuring proper tension levels.

Can I replace the spring without removing the belt?

It is often possible, but removing the drive belt usually provides easier access and a clearer view of the anchor points.

Troubleshooting

Mower still feels sluggish after spring replacement

Check the drive belt for wear or glazing; a new spring cannot compensate for a stretched belt.

Spring is difficult to hook into position

Use a spring puller tool or a piece of heavy-duty string to provide extra leverage when pulling the spring into the anchor point.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install this spring, ensure the mower is disconnected from the spark plug wire to prevent accidental engine start-up.

Use a spring puller or needle-nose pliers to hook the spring into the designated tensioning anchor points on the transmission housing.
