Compact high‑tension control spring (MTD 68013-382) — direct-fit replacement for worn handle/throttle and transmission cable return duties on a range of garden machines. The coil spring measures about 250 mm overall length and is made to the same fit-and-function profile used in original MTD assemblies, giving reliable tension and clean lever return without extra modification. It’s listed on parts diagrams for several ride‑on and walk‑behind models (examples include Danarm/Kaaz LM5360HXR / LM5360HXAR and equivalent Cobra/Shanks models such as RM48SPK, RM53SPH and 553HRS‑PRO), so it’s a good match when the existing control spring has stretched or broken.

Sold as a single, ready‑to‑install spring — simply remove the old coil from the lever pin and seat the new spring the same way; the replacement restores original tension and lever feel so linkages operate smoothly. This item is listed among common MTD spare parts and is suitable when you need a precise replacement for maintenance or repair of small garden machinery and related parts for power tools.
