Thanks Dave,
The springs on the swing cylinder mounts just seem to allow the cylinders to pivot a little bit so they self-align as they pull on the chains. The swing cylinders are single-acting, working in tension against the unsprung side of the mount. There is a cushion valve on the swing circuit but I can still get it to stop hard and oscillate if I'm not careful. That is the one disadvantage of the swinging seat - it shakes me up more than a conventional seat would. Thankfully the pins are still pretty tight.
If you are talking about the swing travel limit stops they are just rubber bumpers.
Taylor,
I didn't know there was a model 740 until you posted. I just did a search and stole this pic of a brochure from an ebay listing. Just like mine only bigger!
