Squeaking kioti tractor seat.

Ok...its been going on long enuf. First an occasional squeak Then a little worse. Yesterday it was relentless. Broke out a can of Wd40....only to find out suspension is completely surrounded by a rubber shield. I ended up having to pull surround off of the clips in 6 areas to access innards. I sprayed 10 suspension joints and shock absorber. Man thats a complicated seat. Now i cant reattach shroud. I cannot pull the attachment clips out without wrecking them. Guess ill have to order some new attachments..... or leave them off. Its a cab tractor so i guess i wont have to worry about dirt and dust. Its always something. At least the squeak is gone.

My 7320 driver side door latch squeaks. A lot. Usually I prop my foot on it and it stops. But it gets uncomfortable after awhile. Definitely irritating.

Supposed to squeak. If the squeaking messes with you too much, then silicone spray on all the twiddly bits and spring.

You can hear my seat squeaking away in the beginning of this video.

Trivia: I unsuccessfully tried to replace the stock seat with a proper Sears air suspension seat. Sadly, I got it to fit, but I didn't have enough headroom to work the suspension. If you replace the seat, you're going to be forced to use a skidloader air seat like a Michigan/Milco V5400.

Well i got rid of the squeak .... for now. It was really starting to grate on me. Getting less able to tolerate loud , obnoxious noises as i get older.
