Will,
I have a front rim on my tractor with nothing wrong with it, and a brand new spare one in my shed. But its not original. I don't want it on my tractor. The rim I'm looking for looks like a circle with a square in the middle of it, which is welded at all 4 corners. Thats the best description I can give.
I ordered the new rim that I have using an MF part number. They sent me a "car-like" rim. It is the rim that went on the "early" production model 231 tractors.

As for the seat, looks like I'm gonna have to get the darn aftermarket pan. Its $129.00 with NO cushion or grey vinyl!! I found a place who will cover the new pan for me for $140.00. They specialize in re-covering seats. I really don't wanna go that route, but it looks like I may have to.
Heck, I'd even buy an original seat that needs re-covering!! I SURE WISH MF OR GRAMMER WOULD RE-PRODUCE THIS SEAT!!

Thanks for your help.
