Tractor Seat suspension spring upgrade John Deere 1025R

This is a hands-on DIY install of aftermarket seat springs (from Bolt On Hooks, about $30) on a 2020 John Deere 1025R, aimed at owners wanting more seat suspension without buying an $800+ seat. The owner walks through removing the seat, swapping springs, noting his tractor needed an 11mm socket and T30 Torx rather than the Allen/metric tools the instructions listed. Good for budget-minded owners dealing with back fatigue.
