In Reply to: Farmall M Seat posted by Jim R on April 13, 2009 at 19:54:58:
Jim R said: (quoted from post at 19:54:58 04/13/09) I am restoring a Farmall M and have a question about the seats. I have seen some Farmall M tractors with a seat that had a coil spring and a shock absorber under it and some that had a smaller spring down close to the deck and a little tool box or cubbyhole under it. Did the differences in the seat have to do with the year that the tractor was built or was one of them an option? Thanks for any response!
Generally speaking, the early M's had the curved pipe seat with the cubby hole tool box and the small spring at the base bolt. The later M's (1945?) had the seat with the bigger around spring under the seat pan and a short shock running diagonally from the base rearward. The aftermarket Monroe seat had a long, long shock absorber mounted at the back of the seat pan.
The Stage II super M's had a "Battery Box Seat", although aside from the battery box itself, it was very similar to the late M type - same spring and same size shock.
