What is this?

[tradosaurus]

There's a lever below the seat that doesn't appear to do anything.

Nope. Tried that with my wife in the seat and nothing.

Could it be if you have a backhoe to turn the seat around?

The one above that.

According to this video(4:48 time mark) it is the suspension seat adjustment.

There you have it. Mystery solved.

I have a horizontal seat adjuster in that area. No knob, just a steel bar.

I know on the LX cab models they have the suspension seat adjustment in that area. For the ROPS models, there is a T bar behind the seat to adjust suspension stiffness/travel.

I sat on the seat and moved the lever up and down and it did absolutely nothing.

Refer back to post #5, the knob controls the speed of your 3 point hitch. Adjust as you raise and lower it.

Actuate the lever as your pushing the seat back or forward. I could swear it is the slide lock. The knob is the three point hydraulic return adjustment. The lever is in question right?

Has anyone suggested a lock for a seat swivel? Just asking because I found one on mine today. Although no backhoe and not enough room to turn completely around it's still there.

I'm not talking about the knob but the lever above it.

I'd go online to a 'partsplace', find the diagram for your tractor seat area, the item should be described and the picture will show how it's used...

 

[tthorkil]

If you look closely at the video you will notice that he is tipping the handle to use for leverage to turn the rod that it is connected to - the 'lever' is just used as a device to turn the rod ccw or cw to either adjust the seat suspension for more or less resistance.

my bad trad, I’m stumped. It looks as though it is the lever to adjust the seat back and forth, but you mentioned it didn’t do anything. I’m curious too, so I’ll be looking forward to the answer as well. I’m supposed to get my L2501 this Saturday so I’ll check it out when it gets here. Could it possibly be for adjusting the forward/back adjustment of the seat and you could have some “trash” in it causing it to bind?
