The shock is there simply to take the recoil out of the spring. So you don't get the pogo stick effect. A new shock won't make the spring compress less. You might want to try a set of those coil spring spacers in your seat spring. Back in 1954 there weren't too many 300 lb farmers.
IH did make a heavy duty spring, recommended for foperators over 200 pounds.
