We could use a little more information.
What make model and year of tractor?
Where do they break, at the hook or in the coils?
Are they the same size as the original springs? Length, diameter, wire size
Have you tried springs of a different wire diameter, as in thicker?
What about a lighter duty spring? All you need is enough tension to return the thrust bearing to home position and hold the pedal up against the stop.
Have you tried a different brand of spring? Those Hillman units are for general purpose/home use. A spring from an equipment dealer/supplier might be of better quality.

Lot of questions for a post I figured nobody would respond to.Mostly curious if others had the same problems. Some of your questions would be answered in the hyperlink I gave.
The springs always break at the hooks.
My newly ordered springs will not be Hillman,but Gardner assuming they are both Chinese made.Slightly smaller wire diameter.And since spring steel is much harder than the soft steel attachment points I find this breakage puzzling.The return spring on my Toyota pickup clutch pedal spring continued to work after 450,000 miles of use without breaking .
