The Honda 22529-V08-000 Tension Arm Return Spring is a genuine OEM component designed for FG400 and FG500 tillers. Sourced directly from Honda, this spring ensures the tension arm returns precisely and consistently after each engagement cycle. Confirm your tiller's serial number against the fitment table before ordering, as Honda periodically supersedes parts at production breaks.
Key Features
- Genuine Honda OEM — manufactured to Honda's original specifications, so this spring delivers the same engagement feel and return force as the part that left the factory.
- Consistent Arm Return — a correctly functioning return spring snaps the tension arm back to its rest position cleanly after each use; a fatigued or broken spring causes sluggish disengagement and uneven tine control.
- Direct Replacement — this part is engineered to drop into FG400 and FG500 tillers without modification, restoring proper clutch-side tension arm operation.
- Serial Number Verification Recommended — Honda updates part supersessions at specific serial breaks, so cross-check your unit's serial number against the fitment table to confirm this is the correct spring for your machine.
The tension arm return spring is a small but essential part of the tiller's drive engagement system. It stores mechanical energy when the tension arm is pulled to engage the tines, then releases it to pull the arm back to the disengaged position when the operator lets go. When the spring weakens, stretches, or breaks, the tension arm may fail to return fully, leaving the drive partially engaged or making the clutch feel imprecise — both of which affect how cleanly the tiller starts and stops tine rotation during a pass.
