The spring is an important part of the seat latch assembly on the early oil-in-frame models, as it prevents the lever from disengaging when the seat latch is closed. The leaf spring is assembled under the latching lever and offers tension to help retain the position of the latch when the seat is in the closed position. The spring, latching assembly, and the hooked tab on the seat pan all work together to comprise the “suitcase-type” of seat catch assembly. The spring and seat latch are fitted to the frame mount with a single screw and nut.
