For those who have a front spring-suspension seat on their Kubota, here is an easy update. My 240LB would bottom out the front seat suspension springs against the rubber bumpers inside the springs when just sitting in it. I looked at options to replace the seat but it's a swivel seat for BH use so a different mounting setup (and $$ for a proper suspension seat)

I removed the springs, and there is a thick 3/8" centering washer under the rubber bumper inside the spring, which I removed and added a flat washer, then put the thick washer under the spring and bolted it back in place.

This raised the spring 3/8" and lowered the rubber bumper 3/8" so now there is nearly 1 1/4" of spring travel and it doesn't bottom out anymore - simple and easy suspension upgrade.
