H Seat Shock Absorber Options...

Absent Minded Farmer · May 9, 2012

Got off of the new H today & plopped down onto the seat of ol' faithful H to my painful dismay. The shock is shot & apperantly the seat sits a bit lower. Sooo, while I wait for the anti-inflamitory to kick in, I figured I would ask about a replacement shock. Actually, I was thinking about a different route. Does anyone know if there's an air spring that will take the place of the shock or both the shock & spring? Also, if there's a air spring that will fit, what's the best place to tap power from the engine to power an air compressor?

Thanks,
Mike

The shock will not hold the seat up, it just takes the bounce out of the spring.

Just go buy a football insert and enjoy they work well

I got a 450 that the seat did same thing. I replaced shock and it didn't help much. I replaced the spring and was fine after that. The old spring was getting soft.

I think Steiners has all the parts for Monroe seats.

Ah! Fantastic! I could use a few other resources for aftermarket parts besides OEM.

Thanks,

This is one way.

Here's another. I suggest you get a 6V or 12V small electric compressor. Should find them on eBay.

I've heard of that trick before. The football goes in the spring? Is it regulation size or a mini? I might just do that until I can scrape up some cash to rebuild the seat.

Thanks,

Yeah, the spring on mine is beginning to pull out of the support on the bottom. Thinkin' I need to do a rebuild.

I'll have to check with them tomorrow. Their site won't open tonight.

Thanks,

A 'lectric compressor? Hmmmmm. Not a bad idea. I could mount that about any old place.

Thanks!

Crazy Red Power you could try Bates Corporation Bourbon, IN. (1-800-248-2955),Devon's Tractor Parts Westfield,IN. ( (888) 560-1466) and Rustic Red Acres Edinburgh, IN. You could try All States AG. Parts (877-530-4430) they have locations in six states and Wis. is one of them.
The first three handle Farmall and IH only.

automotive overload helper springs installed on your old shock
will firm it up.
They also help if you are big and the coil spring is getting weak.
stops that painful bottoming out on rough ground
