I have a 2005? (926004 003330) Dealer machine that broke a tension spring Part#(08300022) They told me 2 or 3 days. After waiting  1&1/2 weeks it was the wrong spring? I gave them the right part number!!  I have called over 30 dealership in my area no one has this spring. I have called Ariens they say the parts or on a truck leaving WI to a new warehouse down south. It maybe 2 more weeks (Best Guest) Any suggestion?

Ok  Thank you very much.  THANK YOU!

Have you tried to take the old spring into a hardware store to see if you can find something similar that will work? It doesn't have to be an Ariens spring if you can get one off the shelf that will do the same job. Why pay $10.00 to $20.00 for a part when a reasonable substitute can be had for $2.00? Is this what you're looking for? It's $4.97 at this place. http://www.mowpart.com/p299436/Sg-Tens-.06X.4/product_info.html Here's another one: ....http://www.jackssmallengines.com/searchresults.cfm?cx=008737122150761418589%3Ac24nnqwh7co&cof=FORID%3A11&q=08300022

Just looked at the drawing and it's just a tensioner arm return spring.  Borat's right, you can get a close enough match at most hardware stores.
