Seat spring

300jk · Feb 23, 2021

I was given what I was told to be a new seat spring for my 300 Farmall. Honestly Ive had it on the tractor for several years. It looks new, but seems really weak. Im only around 200 pounds and I pretty much bottom it out. I dont think thats right. Ive heard about the football trick, but I wouldnt like to do that if it isnt necessary. Like I said at 200 pounds I dont think I should be bottoming out the spring. I could be wrong though. Its been a problem since I bought it in the early 2000s but never did anything with it.

Years ago tractor builders had light, medium, and heavy seat springs available. You might try putting two springs together, I've seen that done before.

Jim he said 200 Lbs not 2500 Lbs , don't think he could put the feed bag on and gain enough to flex it . Some of them import replacements are either to whimpy or way to stiff ,i have had a couple that it would take a pretty stout boy to get them to give and had to take a little temper out of a coil or two. way better off finding one of a parts tractor .

Might need to put a partial vacuum in it! Jim
