Rebushing the seat found a 3/8 shaft collar at
bomgarrs for 2$ That just happened to fit the wore
out ones in the seat linkage

They had all kinds of sizes up to an inch I?ve used bearing lock collars before for different jobs.
 
John Deere sells that for $6 and you need 4 to do a complete seat so nothing wrong with saving $16 on a seat rebuild. I am going to check into getting some as we have been doing one seat a week lately. I did order a rebuild kit off Ebay and it must have been a Friday as there were enough extra bushing to do two seats. Tom
 
That made a whole new tractor out of it now if I replace the spring and the nylon rollers I?ll be set
 
She?s been the main tractor on 3 farms since 1967 . No idea how many hours on it . Has about 2500 on a rebuilt engine and trans
 
good find sv. it seems there is always something to fix, comes with a tractor or piece of equipment you use every day. the good part is I enjoy working on older iron, worked on the m5 tonight, making progress slow but sure.
 
The seat on this thing has been bad for a long long
time. these new bushings made so much difference
no more sloppy lop sided seat
 
and the part I find funny sv. is how long a guy will go putting up with that flopping seat rolling all over, or a lever that's flopping all over etc and then finally one day 'THATS ENOUGH OF THAT" YOU GET po'd and fix it, and then wonder "why the hell didn't I do that a long time ago :lol:
 
O boy I?m the worst at letting stuff like that go ! All
the time I spent last fall plowing and when I?d crawl
off that miserable thing I was about crippled . After I
bought the 3020 I thought I had died and gone to
heaven with a seat that wasn?t flopping all over the
place with one side of the arm rest broke off. I still
want to replace that seat suspension spring but for
now the seats in better shape than it has been in a
long time
 
Guilty as charged. I still have my loader plumbed into the remote (yeah, I'm gonna get that T fitting and do it right, any day now) and also have a bungee cord holding the remote lever on instead of the little slide stop (that would be trivial to make, and JD probably sells anyway).

Yeah, I'll get a round tuit, maybe this summer....

:lol: me too bob, same on my case 310b! the lever for my rear remote bungee corded to keep it in gear! every time I climb on the seat I look down and say "yaa I gotta fix that"
 
My loader is plumbed Into the scvs to oh the humanity I just know at any moment the hydraulic pump is going to fall right out on the ground .
 
yeah, but are you using a bungee to activate the SVC, after 3+ years of it being there? Does the other end of the bungee live down by the clutch and get kicked off occasionally? (I do only put 15-30 hours a year on this tractor, so "3+ years" isn't like I'm looking at it every day during that time).
 
Here?s the. Old bolt that came out of the seat looks like I was a few hours from bieng dropped off the tractor thanks to a broken bolt ! I had a seat break off before plowing up on a steep hill and I just about went under the tractor wheel
