Actually this was yesterday, but the fel blew a hose, the one attached to the cylinder. After several attempts to remove it, (it was really stuck) I just took the whole cylinder off and took it down to the jd dealer and they fixed it right up. Put the cylinder back on, reatttached the hose and now the old girl is back online.

Re: TODAYS SEAT TIME
De-sodded an area roughly 30' x 70' for some covered space to store tractor, attachments, and trailers under.
Now I am thinking I should (or could) strip off the top soil and set it aside for use elsewhere.
Then after the shed is up lay some non-weaved geotextile down and cover with some 3/4" crushed stone.

Re: TODAYS SEAT TIME
True "seat" time today. Never started the tractor at all. But I spent about 2 1/2 hours stretching and gluing the side of my seat cover back down to the metal pan. I was able to stretch it far enough to wrap it around the metal. I used 3 vice grips to hold sections in place while the glue set. Then I glued the edge material all along the seat vinyl. Thanks to Roy Jackson for suggesting Gorilla Glue brand super glue. Hopefully it holds a good long while.

Re: TODAYS SEAT TIME
Yesterday I managed to get a short bit of seat time in. I ground 6 stumps in the next pasture area, then I drove the tractor down to the hay barn where I parked it inside (the grapple is out the door a bit so mostly inside) next to the hay. It is gonna rain the next couple days. This is only the 2nd time I've parked it inside in over a year.
Be well,
