 Topic: 7060 seat help
Posted: 11 hours 39 minutes ago at 7:57pm |

I spent most of my day today in our 7060. Grandpa bought it new so it's definitely got sentimental valve to my dad brother and I. The seat suspension needs some attention. Are we better of trying to rebuild or fab in a different seat. Would like to try and keep it original if we can. Does agco or anyone sell a seat rebuild kit with all the bushings?

Put an air ride in it .Several companies offer them . Easy installation. You won’t be disappointed. Had ours in a7045 for about 30 years now. Still use the original seat, just change out the bottom.

I put new bushings in my suspension and replaced the spring/shock assembly last fall in my 7000. I also put in a replacement seat, I think it was from vevor but I am considering going back to the original. My seat wasn't bad, just the suspension. I was considering an air ride, but did some measuring and decided against it. I think the 7060 has a little more room than the 7000. I bought all my pieces separate, but I did see a kit somewhere. I have included some pictures of the process. https://photos.app.goo.gl/q1kdkt5MJpBgr9Dg8Ted

Same size and width, but the back is a little different. The 7000 doesn't have the flow adjustment under the seat and continues the taper to the floor.

I'm not there looking at what you have, but If it was mine, I'd be ordering parts from DJS tractor parts in Stockbridge, Michigan 49285. They have an 8-brass bushing kit for $35. They have a complete new seat shock/spring assembly for $120. They have the rubber bushings at each end of your old shock/spring. I think they have almost everything you'd need other than any of the shafts, which are different. I usually just buy long grade 2 or 5 bolts from Farm Fleet and make shafts for less $$$. If you re-use your old shock/spring assembly, get a short piece of exhaust tubing from AutoZone that can be used as a spacer to shim the coil spring downwards 3/4" and no more than 1 inch. I don't remember the diameter. I just have a length I just cut out of when I do one. This will make up for the springs shorter length after 50 years and get the seat back up to a more comfortable ride height. You won't believe the difference. In any area where the brass bushing has broken and has the hole wallowed out in the steel part, I buy 1/2" steel bushing material and cut to length and weld into the bad hole. Two of those linkage areas I always make the steel bushing stock piece long enough to replace two brass bushings at once for greater strength. Always drill a small hole on top to give it a squirt of oil now and then.

Agree with DrAllis on the repairs and upgrade of the spring. Had that done on a 170. Remarkably better than it's worn down state
