Seat spring upgrade

[Pburchett]

I upgraded my mx5200 seat springs with these from tractor supply. Does not bottom out now and rides much better. Thought this might help someone.

Simple and effective. I like that.

How about a part number or link?

I would also be interested in a part #, don't see such a spring on their web site

It was a compression spring pack I picked up at the spring display board. I threw the package away months ago. When I look online it appears the be sku number 353420299.

I had to bend the last coil on the springs together a little with vise grips to get the mounting bolt to hold the spring onto the tractor. No major effort applied but a slight modification that will have to be made.

Hmmm wonders if a set of old valve springs from an old pan head would work?

No way! You can't take things and make them do something totally different then engineered for. Besides why would they need to be from an old pan head?
