Default now i got a question abou my rake?

The landscape rake I just picked up, came with 2, about 11" springs. Yhey are on the parts list page but the PO had no idea what they are for. I posted some pictures of what i might think there for.

PICTURE1 the springs

PICTURE2 do they go like this for like a spring assist?

PICTURE3 the one hook on the end of the spring is kind of like a circle and if it is like a spring assist like in picture 2 it would go on that bolt i think?

On the Cub site they're called "lifting springs". It looks like one per side. One end of the spring attaches to the main assembly and the hook end of the spring attaches to the "spring attaching angle, (#11)" of which there is one per side. Here's the drawing:

So the springs aren't there to help lift, they are there to provide down pressure?

Why would IH call them "lifting springs" if they provide down pressure?

Quoting from the Operators Manual
"It is raised and lowered by the tractor lift lever in conjuction with two lifting springs."

This is pretty confusing. Looking at the diagram the springs look like they are in a position that provides downward pressure.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
