I dug into the seat problems some more. I thought it was a spring problem like I asked you guys. But playing with it at home I realized the seat falls sideways a bit.

First, I flipped over the seat pan, since the whole assembly felt a bit loose. I circled what I found alarming. The bolt has been worn more than half way through.

So I flipped the seat back over and noticed the right side hole had worn open as well.

Then shook the seat around yo see where else I had movement, and noticed the bolt in front of the spring was loose. So I looked in front and saw this.

So... What I believe is that I need to replace that tube that everything attaches to, and the bolt that the seat hinges on. Correct? Are they hard to find in good condition?

All of that is repairable at little cost if you work at it. The enlarged holes and be bushed with a piece black iron pipe and the split tube can be fixed at any welding shop. Are there any vocational schools that teach welding around. I have used our community college welding shop for several items. They are glad to do it for the real experience. The pins can be made from hardend steel found in most tractor stores and some hardware stores. You might have to alter them a little but tey are strong and will work..Just think repair for a while. If you buy some old junk you will end up fixing it also. I have used all these methods on My M and now my A and I dare the first guy to tell me thats not OK.

I know a guy with welding equipment. How good he is at it I'll have to ask. I guess I'll take it apart and find out some estimates.

To be honest, and not to be mean, but the previous owner was pretty big. I'm 250 pounds, and he was more. I would say 300+. third party image I would say that would be the cause. I'll try to get it fixed.
Thanks for the ideas!

Mike, take your pictures to a machine shop (on base?) and ask for their opinions. I would make a plug to slide into the end of the pipe, drill a cross hole the correct size for the pin, and weld it into the end of the pipe. The others might be able to be repaired the same way.

Only the "Correct Police" would know or care that it isn't 100% factory. Personal, I want all of my tractor to have it's original parts. SDE

Don't know how good it is, but there is one on ebay right now. I would think they are around. That bolt/pin of thing is worn out on mine two. Haven't checked, but it may be available from IH. That pipe could be fixed by cutting off the bad part and welding on a new piece and boring the hole/holes.
