Ouch!! that's a new one! I'd suggest go the grocery story and get a spray bottle of "Resolve", ts made for such things.. It takes out carpet stains (such as your stains) and will probably get rid of most of the smell...use it a couple of times at least. Also, probably a bleach and water solution could work as well, but I'm not sure what the bleach will do to the paint/seat. Good luck. BobG in VA

Re-upholster the seat.

Cow Manure?








/or recover/replace it. Febreeze?

Baking soda?

Not sure of the name--maybe Nature's Miracle or something like that. They are an enzyme based solution that you soak the material (we used on wood floors) and it removes the odor very well and also stops re-occurring incidents (we had an indoor cat competing with an outdoor cat for territory near the door!!). I've seen it in the grocery store in the pet aisle--along with a couple of other similar products. Even better yet--replace with an upgraded seat!

With a little more time to think, debatable process, perhaps try some pickled eggs and a different brand of beer before getting in the cab!

On the plus side, you probably don't have to worry about mice making a nest there!

Seems to me ammonia is used for that sort of job on carpets.
Replacing the seat is much more effective.

Replacing the seat is much more effective.

I agree...by the time you're done buying & trying 25 different "potions" to get the smell out, you'll probably have spent the same money as buying a replacement. With the replacement you're GUARANTEED the smell is gone.

When it comes down to it, I dont think theres a surefire way to remove some smells...car dealers try as hard as they can to remove the smoke smell but the smell is never 100% gone.

New seat and shoot the cat!

I think you're on to something. Fur seat cover.

Second the Nature's Miracle enzyme cleaner, but it costs about $20 a gallon, which might be a good down payment on a new seat.

Curious. What tractor has a cloth seat?

 

[jnjpream]

Oh it doesn't have to be cloth to smell.. I had a weight bench with vinyl bench seat that took a hit from a cat. Tried lots of things but ended up tossing the bench. As for the cat, it died from (high speed) lead poisoning.

Wait it out,
One time I had a coon smell up my combine cab pretty bad as he was living in there probably all winter. long story short, he got his due when he ran between the drive belts while I was starting it up.
now THAT was a mess to power wash off everything in the engine compartment. being fresh blood, guts & hair, it wasn't as lingering as the mess he made in the cab.
I washed the seat/floor with pine-sol and after a year or so, it was mostly gone. Sunshine will will do wonders for braking down the odor.

borax...along with baking soda...cover the entire seat and leave for a couple of days...repeat the process several times

Soak it in diesel for a couple of days, then ignite it, repeat process necessary?

 

[horsinaround]

Cat pee is the nastiest stuff. either take the seat all apart, soak, wash, hang out in the wind for 6 months and repeat as needed, or get a new seat.

If you have a UV light, shine it on the seat and surrounding area. Any spots with "organics" will glow. (You have to do this in the dark of course). Then you know where to treat with a product such as Nature's Miracle.

If that does not work, use the method suggested by lawn_king.
