• The spring is located within Figure G – Drive Control Assembly, alongside the brake pedal lever, parking brake spring, limiter, brake pedal, brake switch, brake cables, and parking brake components.
• 997328001 Return Spring and 997358001 Spring (Parking Brake) are separate components. Both appear in the same drive control assembly and should not be confused with one another.
• Confirmed applications include the RY48130 (099749020) and RY48131 (099237001) 30-inch 48V riding mowers.
• Availability varies by supplier. Some current catalogs list 997328001 as no longer available, while another OEM parts supplier currently shows remaining inventory.
• This listing is for one return spring only unless otherwise specified. Brake pedals, parking brake springs, brake cables, levers, limiters, switches, pins, washers, and other drive-control components are sold separately.
• Inspect the brake pedal, parking brake linkage, cables, pivot points, and related hardware when replacing the spring. Replace excessively worn, bent, seized, cracked, or otherwise damaged components as necessary.
• Match part number 997328001 with your mower's illustrated parts diagram before ordering to ensure proper fitment.
