'52 VAC Comfort Seat Parts?

jddually · Apr 11, 2009

I just bought my first tractor! It is a great running '52 VAC-13. It is in pretty good shape. I will be using it for back blading a gravel drive and doing some light brush hogging (probably a 4' brush hog, not sure if it can handle a 5').
It has the rubber torsion springs on the seat, but I think they are worn out. Where can I find parts for this seat?

Thanks!

I have bought the rubber spring torsion seat parts from Minn-kota repair and had good luck with them.

Thanks!
Another question: What size brush hog are people running with their VAC's? I plan on doing some light brush hogging/mowing and wondered if it would handle a 5' brush hog.

I have used a 5' bush hog on my VAC's.Do yourself a favor and install an over running clutch on the tractor PTO AND a slip clutch in the PTO shaft at the gearbox.The slip clutch is adjustable by loosening the bolts.I mark the clutch with a marker to insure the clutch is slipping during use.VAC's have weak PTO gears and will break if not protected.A bush hog with a stump jumper will also be easier on the tractor pto.After adding these clutches to my tractor I have had good luck with it.If you have any quetions I can email pics.Good luck; Nick
