Default Worn seat springs?

i will be honest and say that i weigh about 230lbs give or take and when im on my 108 the seat springs collapse to the point of almost touching and most bumps are enough to make it bottom out. is this normal or have my springs worn out?

They wore out on my 86. I'm 225. Swapped them with another set from a parts tractor.

I about $h!+ when I read this!

I like the redneck air ride. Good idea! I am only 160 tho, so I would probably have to add a seat belt to keep from bouncing me off.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
