Several people have mentioned replacing the rubber seat bumpers with springs. The first year I had my tractor, one of the bumpers broke away, causing the seat to lurch sideways and break the seat bracket. After taking a look at the springs on my John Deere lawn mower, I decided to replace the bumpers with springs. I went to a local lawn mower repair shop and asked about springs. The owner had just parted out an old riding mower. I bought the set of seat springs for $3.50. They fit perfectly on my Yanmar and work great.
