D Slater said: (quoted from post at 18:33:14 08/08/07) Mike from my early days on a farmall tractor, that was the only kind of seat I knew at the time. That bolt through spring should of had 2 jam nuts on it and they were tightened or loosen to adjust seat and would hold 250 pound. The sping actualy compresses very little before seat bottoms on platform so if you have a little gap between coils it may be enough. As cowman posted the pin and where it passes through pipe gets worn and if so will give a lot of side slop to seat. If very bad I weld a steel bushing thats sized right for pin into pipe, it doesn't show when mounted. If the mounting bracket holes for pin are bad I weld holes and redrill for pin. Also sometimes the spring adjusting bolt will wear into pipe on bottom side. 1-800-234-3280 sells new springs for your seat but cost 39.95 |
Thanks D. Good info.
And thanks to the rest of you as well. I'll tear into the seat when I get the tractor and see what's up.
