Replacing a spring on a Bad Boy 5055H

This is a hands-on DIY repair, not a review: an owner replaces the broken hydrostatic pedal return spring on his Bad Boy 5055H after failing to source the exact factory part. He documents the location of the spring, the tight workspace under the tractor, using a close-but-not-exact substitute from Tractor Supply, and installing it with help from his daughter. Useful for 5055 owners facing the same hard-to-push-pedal symptom.
