The Multiquip 22716 Extension Spring is a genuine OEM component designed for STXD6i, HTXD6i, HTX6H, STX6H, and HTXG6DF series ride-on power trowels. As a direct factory replacement, this spring maintains the exact tension characteristics required by Whiteman hydrostatic and Hatz-powered trowel platforms. Confirm part number 22716 against your machine's parts manual before ordering to ensure a proper match for your specific model.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Tension Spec — Manufactured to the original coil diameter, free length, and wire gauge specifications so spring return force stays within the operating range the trowel was engineered around.
- Drop-In Replacement — Matches the original mounting hooks and overall length, allowing straightforward installation without modification to adjacent hardware.
- Broad Trowel Family Coverage — Compatible with STXD6i, HTXD6i, HTX6H, STX6H, and HTXG6DF ride-on power trowel models, covering both Honda and Hatz engine variants in the heavy-duty hydrostatic and super-sized hydrostatic series.
- Consistent Return Force — A correctly tensioned extension spring ensures control linkages and mechanical assemblies return to their neutral or home position predictably, supporting smooth blade pitch adjustment and operator control response.
- Fatigue-Resistant Construction — Springs subject to repeated cycling can lose tension or fracture over time; replacing a worn spring with a genuine OEM part restores consistent load performance and prevents erratic linkage behavior.
An extension spring stores mechanical energy when stretched and uses that stored tension to return a linked component to its resting position. In ride-on trowel applications, extension springs are commonly used in control linkages, blade pitch mechanisms, and safety-related return assemblies where consistent spring force keeps moving parts operating in a predictable, controlled range. When an extension spring stretches beyond its elastic limit, loses coil tension, or breaks, the linked mechanism may move sluggishly, fail to return to neutral, or behave unpredictably — affecting blade control and overall machine response. Replacing a fatigued or failed spring promptly restores correct linkage function and protects surrounding hardware from undue stress.
