Mf 6485-6499 cab suspension

[made2fail]

Hi I did see on here a month or two ago someone had fitted spring dampers on the cab suspension of the larger mf 6400 range tractors.I,ve tried searching for it but with no luck.
Any help would be much appreciated

Looks like 5610 had 2 types of spring dampeners, Monroe make a set but they need modification to fit on 7475. Trying it now

Monroe cab dampeners are too hard and no good,

We changed our 6480 onto springs, there is no kits for the 6400’s to be converted to springs, but there is a kit for the 5475 which will fit the 6400’s

Local spannerman makes new airtanks for under cab to cure leaks before compressor failure from constant running, says that if you put spring kit on without beefing up the mounting points, system is not strong enough and will break.

We got some from Spaldings, supposedly for case magnum. £50 each, but less than that if you've got a trade account.

Too much spring pressure for a 6475, so had to move them forward to directly above rear axle (so they weren't at top of their travel and bumping). So too much hassle really, but on other hand now mounted on good strongly fabricated mounts (rather than on the damper brackets, which look a bit weak to take full cab weight through the retrofit springs).

We had the springs bolted straight onto the shock absorber mounts for 3000 hours with caphead bolts. I agree the mounts look a bit weedy but we never had any problems.

I've put saschs dampener springs on 7475, rides as good as air , same dampener springs as my 5610

Looking to fit springs, but a little frustrated that spring and dampers for truck cabs can be bought for £50, yet massey ones are £ 250 each.

cheap monroe springs were far too hard and did almost nothing, the saschs springs massey used are far better and do have features which make them more expensive, Case dampeners are a lot cheaper but slightly longer, if u are going to modify anything could try them. Not sure how they will feel. I paid $450 AUD ea for saschs

Sachs 319846 is the part number you need , or massey a Massey Ferguson part number 4382438MI

Anyone know of any aftermarket cab suspension to retrofit to massey 6475, After using tractors with cab suspension no one wants to use the tractor without it.
