 Topic: D series seat suspension
Posted: 09 Dec 2023 at 2:11pm |

Friends:
Last year at the swap meet I saw a vendor selling refurbished seat suspensions for D series tractors. I would like to buy one. Does anyone know if he is on this forum, or have the contact info of someone who sells refurbished suspensions.?Thank you.

Pretty easy to do yourself. Hardest part is driving out the old rusted pins. When everything is apart, I have my local fab shop make new pins and put new bushings in all the parts. Pant and put back together, will be as good as new. I have done several and have another one to do this winter.

How much do you have invested when you do it yourself?

Been several years since I did one. Shaft and bushings done by the fab shop and a new shock absorber are the only real expenses. Just my time to take it apart and put it back together.

Thanks for the reply. DJS sells the pins and bushings. I think I’ll go ahead and tackle it myself.

Don't even try to remove those tiny roll pins. Lay the suspension on its side, supported solidly at each pivot pin with a piece of pipe and drive the pivot pin thru the pipe shearing off the roll pins. A big hammer and strong arm with solid and squared blocking works the best.

Just got done doing a suspension rebuild on my recently purchased D17 series one. Roll pins are a pita, but got those removed. 1/2 pins were rusted tight in several places, used some heat and they slide free. Puchased the bushings and replacment shock assembly from DJS. I made the pins from 1/2 cold rolled steel. Overall a very good design! Good Luck, Mike
