520H seat adjustment

Recommended Posts

Anyone know how much travel there is in the seat adjuster. Mine only moves about two inches. I feel like I am sitting on the steering wheel

That just strikes my 5 year year old mind funny....

 

 

I'm 6 1 and umm ...  Not thin.... So I know what you mean.

I have additional brackets under the seat of the Cinnamon Horse C160.

4" total I believe not really a lot of travel there.

The springs themselves are in slots in the tip up seat support as well.

 

Are yours at the back all the way in the slots.

If the seat springs are all the way back in the slots. Then my 520-H has adjustable tracks mounted on top of the springs. There is adjustment lever on the left side, mine is hung up  and I can't get it to move more then about an inch or so and then goes back in the same hole. I'I'll check mine out to see why they don't work. I pulled the seat off. There is dirt or rust in the tracks as they don't move freely, with the persuasion of a rubber hammer I got both to move.  The seat adjustment only moves 2 1/2" max.

I got the seat tracks working after taking them off blowing them out and spraying a little oil in them. The bolt hold the track down are sort of riveted in , they come out very easily and are a pain  when reinstalling them. this is the pictures of all the way forward and all the way to the rear.

I measured the seat springs  on my 312-8 and C-120 but they are different . The holes on the 520 seat springs are 8" apart, the holes on the others are 7" apart the adjusters won't fit them. The reason I measured them is they have a short side and a long side on the spring.
