I just purchased a 5 yr old 15.5 HP 42" Dynamark Riding Mower with the
deck. I have the deck installed except for 2 pieces. One is about a 3
foot rod with a flat piece on one end with a hole thru it. The next
piece is a spring with hooks on each end. I'm 90% sure that they go
with the arm that raises/lowers the deck on the mower. Except I have
no clue to where the rod goes.

Any help is appreciated.
