My seat question maybe was not clear! I have 4 steel spacers about 3/4 " long ( part #110932 )that I believe need installed on 4 corners of the seat assembly to raise my seat.

Here is my question: Have you installed these spacers on any of your tractors, and if so? 1)  Should they go between the springs and swivel plate or 2) between the springs and the forward/ backward adjusters.  The tractor I'm working on is a 520 H  20 HP Onan Performer 20 XSL engine  Engine ID number 31- 200E01  15180  

Wheel Horse Tractor Serial # 1983386703   (1989)?

Will appreciate your help.

Thank you for responding lynnmor. I see that on the drawing you sent! I need to bring the back of the seat higher and it looks like Peter Lena has a way to do that. You have a wonderful day!

Hi Pete and thanks for getting back to me! I didn't ask about how to raise the back of the seat in my question because I just believed all 4 spacers had to be installed. I tried to put a spacer at the rear of the seat between the spring and the swivel plate but seemed like that will put to much angle pressure on the front bolts?

Just brought your additional comments on my 1Pad and will now go to that to follow your them. Thanks Pete!

Peter, I apologize for not sending you an response to my seat question! I appreciate the possible change of raising the 520-H rear seat height but decided to leave it unchanged because I want to keep it as original as possible. Have a couple other s I may want to do as you recommended, Thanks for your expertise!
