Third, over decades of use, these single springs if installed as the factory intended will last forever ….. providing someone hasn’t done some other silly modification from factory stock.

Now, if someone were to stretch or damage a spring from the factory setting, than all bets are off.
There is a reason they went to two spring they got smarter same reason they did away with the tri power it was out dated just like almost everything becomes sooner or later. FYI new does not mean always better my $6000 zero turn broke a new spring in less than a hour after having it delivered
