Armrest for 3016 seat?

Tkblacktail · May 21, 2013

I'm looking for a set of armrests for my 3016 seat; there are three indentations on each side of the seat which leads me to believe the seat will also fit other tractor applications where the armrests are included. Does anyone have any knowledge they would like to share? I'd like to go to my dealer with a model number if possible.

I will post whatever I find.

Thanks.

The seats on the 35 series are made at Michigan Seat. If yours looks the same, you might contact them for info. As far as armrests... I use the right one all the time, but don't use the left and leave it up. Left hand is usually on the steering wheel/steering knob...with me doing stuff. Might save you some money if you just get the right....

Thank you JK,

I'm going to visit the dealer Tuesday and check prices/options.

Circumstantial:

There are voids on both fender-panels next to the 3PT lever and L-M-H range selectors, I'm also thinking about mounting a temporary cushion on the right side since I find myself leaning to the right (like city-slickers in their cars) to see what the bucket is doing (level or not etc).

Tangential:

I need to do something, I left too much elbow cartilage spread across too many drop-zones.........."bone to bone" hurts!

Logorrheic:

Or, I could have a grease-zerk surgically installed onto my elbows.............daily shots of GAA.

Or cover yourself with lots of layers of bubble wrap... keep you warm in the winter, too...!!!! [ Probably sun would deep fry you in the summer, though.. ]

Dealer found the factory arm rest for that seat, 40 bucks and it is being ordered today.

Can you find out the part number and post it so anyone else interested can use it to order theirs?

Good as always

. From your profile pic and signature I'm guessing you were/are in the Army and was stationed at Fort Benning? I'm an Air Force Veteran myself. I was an Armament Systems Specialist, loaded weapons on several different aircraft over the years.

As promised,

The solution to my armrest project; I went with a arm rest kit for a Milsco XH-150 seat like found on Huskavarna mowers. I had to make two modifications to the armrests and it took less than 15 minutes to install and $39.99 in costs.
They are sturdy and they rotate up and down.

1. I replaced the 1/2" long leveling bolts with 1" long leveling bolts to get the arm rests to a more-horizontal position.
2. I drilled a 1/4" hole in the center position of the arm rest bracket so the holes would line up enough for a straight shot.
a. The seat is molded on the inside to keep the speed screws in place.
b. The metal frame on the arm rests seem to have the physical attributes to easily withstand another hole.
