Monroe seat question

Mark55 · Feb 28, 2013

Hello,
Anyone know the bushing size that is under the leftt-right crossbaron the Monroe seat?
Are they rubber? Are they available?
Thanks

I have been wondering the same thing. I have an Allis C with a Monroe seat but on mine the spring is upside down, so I am not sure if if the otherwise the same as your B or not.

I'm not quite sure which rubber bushing you are talking about, but if it is the pair that are closest to your knees when seated on an H or M--- in front of the seat pan--- then I might be able to save you some money. I rebuilt the Monroe seats on an H and an M about 5 years ago, and at that time I went to the local auto parts store and happened to find that they have automotive shock absorber/chassis bushings in their "Help!" section that were one fifth of the price of the same bushing from CIH.

The "Help" stuff is a company that reproduces various breakable parts that are usually not carried by the regular parts counter--- things like interior door handles and window cranks to weird hardware commonly used on cars and trucks.
I bought and used those shock bushings in the Monroe seats, and they have held up well. They were an exact fit for the tapered rubber bushings.

The rubber bushings for the shock and the two for the frt bottom of the seat if it's like a Farmall are exactly like you would find on the bottom of older rear car shocks, General Motors anyway.

Sorry, I wasn't clear with my original post. I should have asked: What is the spacer under the crossbar by the fender made of? Size? Where can you get a pair?

Here is a Monroe on an Allis C. I think what you have is a farmerized version that was probably designed to fit something else. I'd guess the heavy angle iron and cross bar have been added by the farmer so you are on your own on that one. Sorry.

I had to "trim" mine a little to get them to fit but they are just as good as if made for the spot. The seat has never been tighter.

Has anyone found the original style bushings for the pivot on the seat used on the Farmalls?. The small diameter part is longer than the standard shock absorber bushing so that when assembled in the seat, the two bushings nearly meet in the middle. They lasted a lot longer than just using a standard shock bushing.
