[AJD] Float ride rubber Torsion Springs

[Dean VP]

Dee:

I can hope that the prices will come down but at the moment I think it is a
false hope. The current torsion springs are looking better every day. I've
got 7 float ride seat assemblies around here. Maybe I'll just sell the
surplus seat assemblies and let someone else worry about it. 

Learned something today. I didn't think putting a float ride seat on the
first numbered series was Kosher but JD's Attachments for Tractors and
Engines AC-1000 dated 1958 shows them as correct options for that series. I
get confused by what fenders go where too, such as the deluxe fenders on the
20 series. I still think they don't belong on the 20 Series. But I'm sure
not a qualified as "Correct Police", if there is such a thing.

Do you think it will ever be below $2.00 a gallon again?
$3.29 here in Lompoc  Ca. today.
Seat springs, wish I could help I found a replacement seat with good 
springs.
