I'm not certain this is an OC/Hg issue, though it may be.
There are two different springs shown in my book, and based on my own experience the stiffer springs were available before the OC-3.

According to my parts book there was a "standard" and a "heavy duty" spring available that covered all serial numbers of 31, 60, and 68.
The 42 used the same springs (both standard and heavy) up to serial number 52GA471. A different spring was used for later 42s.
The part numbers are as follows:
Standard 112 529
Heavy 115 208 (Assy)
The later 42s: 117 024
I see no heavy springs listed for the later 42s.

I know one of the springs is enclosed and one is an open coil. I think some of the loaders did not have any spring - just a solid piece in place of the spring - I am not certain of this. I know a lot of the larger Cletrac loaders and dozers did not have springs.

I checked the books again--both Parts and Instructions.
Both the standard and heavy duty springs show a dust cover. The cover for the HD seems more "robust" than the one on the standard.
However, I don't think the HG we had when I was a kid had dust covers and in fact in a number of the pictures in the manuals there are no dust covers on the springs.
Were the dust covers added at some point in time? I can certainly imagine them becoming "optional" for a farmer after working on them, but the pictures in the manuals would not have under gone that type of "field modification".
