Farmall M Seat Shock

Posted by Clarkbug on July 05, 2007 at 11:51:49 from (209.23.8.248):

Hello All.

So I am actually able to start tinkering with my tractor, and one of the things that I am starting with is the seat. (Yes, I have other more pressing issues, but it was rainy, the tractor is outside, and the seat can come in out of the rain...)

After getting things apart, I realized that the shock is completely shot on the seat, it has no resistance either direction anymore. I think in part because whoever put it on prevously didnt put any of the rubber bits on the bottom, and just tightened the nut all the way up... So, it was overextended for much of its life, and just wore out.

I ordered a new shock from TSC, but I wanted to know about the rubber parts that go at the bottom. Does anyone know what they are supposed to look like or have dimensions? I wanted to ask now before I make a special trip to the dealer to try to order those parts. They wanted $72 just for the shock! (Its the 9 1/2" one with bushings at the top and a stud at the bottom)

If I can just use something from the local hardware store thats about the same size, that would be great. Thanks in advance for your help!
