Sear spring for UTS?

Sorry if this sounds like a dumb question but humor me, please. I am new at this.
Gotta question about the spring that helps support the seat on a UTS.
The coil spring where the seat support bar on my UTS attaches to the differential/tranny is broken. It appears to have originally been about 2" in diameter and maybe 3"-4" tall. Anybody know where I can get a replacement, or, is there some big-ole valve spring that would work?
Also, it was disassembled when I got it as a replacement part so I am not sure but it seems like it goes on top of the seat support bar. Is this correct?
Does this spring really make the seat more comfy?

I'm thinking that your seat originally had the bar set in a metal box filled with rubber. When the rubber gave out, lots were fixed some other way that omitted the box and most do have the spring on top of the bar because it is easier to mount, although I think originally the spring was below the bar. The first tractor I restored I cut about 2-1/2"-3" off a pretty hefty cultivator spring and it worked O.K.

Some of the tractors did come with a spring on the mounting bolt(on top of the seat support). My dad's 1950 ZAU was that way. He bought it new.
I don't think they should have changed from the "rubber block", they were more comfortable than the spring. The spring made it more rigid as it was metal on metal.
