[AT] Bending a hook on a spring

[Len Rugen]

Are you saying my seat spring is a heavy lift spring?  :-)

The design of this seat isn't that safe, if these springs break, the 
seat tips back like a dump bed, along with the butt contained therein.  
It is limited to about a 30 degree tilt rearward, but it sure makes your 
pulse rate jump.  I was drilling soybeans in a food plot when it broke 
last month.
