I would go as far to say, just one pumpNot too much though, a few pumps of the grease gun, no more, otherwise it could blow the seal out.

Did I mention cleanliness...?
bit of straw in a cake bag or hessian sack jobs a good'un i think you can get seat pan recovered, screw the knob up should pull springs tight, reasonably comfortable the piston is a damper, would other seats give the right position for the clutch i always find it a bit awkward maybe just meThe seat in the tractor is fairly terrible, and I'd like to put something more comfortable in. Just looking at the Agriline catalogue as a starting point, do all of the seats listed as suitable for an 885 fit, or were there different trim levels or something?
It's got this arrangement at the moment:

That knob on the back doesn't seem to achieve very much when it is turned - what is it meant to do?
Any help or constructive comment appreciated, as ever.
we put one of them cheap yellow seats in an old deere when you put the clutch down you can feel the whole seat twist other than that nice springy seatYou're looking at £100 or so to replace the seat pan, the damper and springs do get tired over the years

Then there's this, but unsure if the angle is correct for the existing bracket.

Never the most comfortable even when new
@Selectamatic - None taken....
Okay, I'll have a tinker with it. It looks bent to me, but I've no idea whether they were all made like that on purpose, like them putting in the stop cable back-to-front etc. And @haggard143 - your suggestion of the sack of straw is what it already has, but I moved that out of the way to take the photo
Incidently I can't seem to find the iPhone plug and holder in the DB's cab - can anyone tell me where they are please?
