2004 Bolens rear deck spring

I made the mistake of removing the rear deck pin without realizing there was a spring on it. Spring shot out back and I cannot figure out where the other end goes. On end went around the pin. I also found a hook thing which is where I believe the other end went but the is no place to install it on the frame , or anywhere else I can see. O the frame, control parts diagram it is similar to spring #36. I am unable to post the picture because I am a plumber and not a computer guy. Ant help would be appreciated. Sorry, Mod 13AM662F765.
