If it is the same as the height adjustment for a 160, 170, or 180 there is a knob connected to a rod that slides up and down along a plastic gate with numbers on it. If yours is like this the spring doesn't provide tension to the rod but merely places side pressure to keep it from falling to the right out of the slot. To install the spring take the black plastic gate with the numbers on it off the mower (it's held with a screw at the top and a tab at the bottom). Next place the short end of the spring (there is a longer and shorter end to it) in the hole in the fender right next to the screw hole that holds the black plastic gate in place. Then take the long end of the spring and insert it into the groove at the end of the plastic gate. Keeping the spring in the groove insert the tab into the opening with the rod sticking up through the gate and push the gate into the hole and secure it with the screw. The big thing that throws everyone is that they think the spring holds tension on the rod, it doesn't. The spring just runs the length of the gate and crowds the rod to the side.
I've got a JD LA 105 so I'm not sure if this helps or not.

To replace the front wheel on your L130 John Deere lawn mower you need to first take out the old one. Place the jack under the front wheel frame of the lawn mower, then place the new bushings over the axle hole in the wheel.
I cant seem to get the new pinion gear to go on the drive shaft of my John Deere LA105. Is there a trick to it?
