Fact!
Our SH "V" shaped coil spring fractured, dropping my Bum 6" from its position. No big deal, I just drove on.
A broken seat that didgive me pause was on a Moline U that I was driving on a stone road at a Max Warp of 13mph. The seat mount broke, and on that tractor the operator is more or less over the air on the back. I hung on to the wheel, but it turned a bit to the right. My feet were dragging on the ground, and I could not get them ahead of the stones passing by. The tractor drifted into a 16" phone pole and the right rear tire hit it dead center, bouncing the tractor backward, and my jaw into the seat parts. It did kill the engine upon the second bounce into the pole. That was a week's worth of bruse. JimN
