Yep, all the styled Farmall seats up until about 1946 had a dark gray canvas covering with about 1/2 to 5/8ths of an inch jute padding. Then came a couple of years of silver duck cloth covering with the jute padding, then the thicker, softer, foam rubber padding with the silver duck cloth covering. The very first H and M seats were a two piece channel support frame that mounted with a cross pin to a mounting bracket having a big compression spring bolted to the flat rear end cover that had the depressed area in the middle to clear the seat channel to come down in it if the spring was severly loaded and compressed. In 1940 the two piece channel seat support frame was replaced by a curved tube of about 2 1/2 inch outer diameter mounted to the lower bracket with a similar cross pin and suspended by the same type of big compression spring. The big cast rear end covers then were totally flat. Both styles of seat frame had a sheet metal sort of U-shaped panel bolted in the arch of the frame to form a sort of open topped box to hold tools or spare parts like drawpins and clevises...or a spare pack of chewing tobacco. Well, that's what I often saw in ours. IIRC, the fancy Monroe type seats came along about 1948. These really good seats had the tapered coil spring directly under the seat butt bucket, the first ones had a shock mounted in back on the longer seat frame which extended up behind the seat. The later ones had the shock mounted down in front of the coiled spring mounting and the frame ended under the seat bucket. Oh, I almost forgot...the first Monroe seats didn't flip over like the older seats. The latest "Super C" type seats were mounted on the platform mounted battery box tops used on Super C's, Stage II Super M's, Super H's and Super MTA's. You could get a flip-over bracket thing to enable you to be able to flip over these seats or move them back if you wanted to stand on the platform. Hope this all makes sense.

Today's Featured Article - My Ford Golden Jubilee - by Troy Estes. This article is about my '53 Ford Jubilee and a story that starts with taking the tractor to my brother's Starter/Alternator Rebuilding shop for a wiring fix. The generator was shot as well as all the wiring. I dropped off the tractor expecting a transformation from a 6 volt to a 12 volt system utilizing the original generator housing, and a total rewiring of the whole tractor. The front end center pin bushing was worn also so I ask that they replace it if they had time. Well, that�s wha
