These tractors were clearly designed for little people!
Having slipped off the step, grabbing the first thing handy (gear lever) and almost getting squashed by my own tractor lurching forward (thankfully in low box), I thought it was time to sort the inadequate steps out, so here's the result of a couple of hours playing with the sparky gun.
When I bought the tractor, the seat was knackered and far too low as my knee's were under my ears and couldn't lift my foot off the clutch properly. So went out and ordered a sprung seat (yea I know its JD colours, but would have had to wait for three weeks for a black one, plus I wanted to show how dirty the seat is... not) which raised it up a sensible height to be able to sit comfortably, but then had to alter the seat support on the back actor to sit far enough back. The seats are now good and comfortable, but the steering wheel is now between my knees... doh.. I am currently machining bits up to raise the steering wheel. When done, I'll post pickies.
