The made in india float ride torsion springs fit correctly, but they have no spring torsion at all. The adjustment rod is all the way down to the 100 pound person setting and it still takes a 250 pounder to get it to move one inch downwards.

Buy the USA made ones if you're gonna rebuild your whole float ride.

Sounds like they work to good if it takes a 250lb person to move the seat at a 100lb setting? These tractors aren’t set up to ride like a Cadillac!

A float ride is designed to cycle all the way up and all the way down - not just an inch down. This gives you a hard as a rock feeling with these indian springs. Yes, they do ride like cadillacs when you use the USA springs.

I really don't think the FLOAT RIDE seats are designed to CYCLE all the way up and all the way down, than they would have to bottom out every cycle which would make for a very jarring ride. They are supposed to absorb the up and down movement of the seat. Unless you were around 52 years ago to design them??? I really didn't know the Indians where into seat springs I just thought casinos? Did you ever check your bushing to make sure they aren't binding? Oh let me guess you've rebuilt hundreds of them? So you’re certified!!
