BX24 swivel seat mechanism came apart

[uglyboywith11fingers]

I found a piece of 1" round nylon rod in my junk drawer in the shop... God only knows where it came from or how long ago(my wife says I keep too much junk).
anyway, used my little wood lathe and cut a couple new spacers and put 'er back together... swivel works great again.
and now I know why they call that 3" by 4" piece of flat metal a "spring" !

many thanks for all your help on this.

Awesome Pete!! I actually have some of the same nylon rod in my box. 1" and 2.5 ". Never thought of cutting it for that part!!

Same thing just happened to me. I've lost one of the ball bearings and one of the nylon pads. (I'm a bit annoyed by this; the tractor is just 2 months since purchase so shouldn't the dealer have picked this up during pre-delivery?) In case I find the missing bits does anyone have a diagram showing how it all goes back together?

these might help.

You've probably got it fixed by now, but this will show you if you got it right.
