Butt Buster !!

Changed the plugs in the new MF 202 and took it for a little spin around the property to see how it was running. Well, it ran fine except for one thing.

I happened to hit a rut that I wouldn't think anything about driving over with my 8N. I forgot that there was no spring under the seat like the 8N. It like to have jarred my teeth loose !!

As you can see in the picture below there is no cushion on the seat. I will definitely be getting a new modern seat for this thing. That old butt bucket on the spring on the 8N definitely had it all over this thing.

yeah butt you have to get a spring too unless you one laying around and will the spring fit on the ferguson. do a search. cushions can be had for much less if you look around. search mf 35 seat cushion. don't bother ordering the back rest piece.

Wrong you do not need or use the original seat spring that seat base mounts where the spring was, I have one on my 641 and its a fair seat, what I don't like about it is the seat bottom is short at least for me otherwise it rides good the ride is adjustable.

Speaking of seats I was wondering this today. how far is a seat supposed to be away from the steering wheel on an N?

I find them a little short but the 3 I have are all diferent with the 8N being the furthest.

As I said, there is no spring of any kind on this stock seat. Evidently they just relied on the seat cushions which appear to be about 4 inches or more thick.

Hi Glenn the seats are adjustable if yours has the original seat spring it has a number of hole in it for moving the seat forward or aft these are on the bottom of the spring at the tractor mounting.
