Revoving smell from tractor seat

dillo99 · Nov 22, 2009

New seat for sure!!!!

I think replace it with a new vinyle seat.... a cloth seat will forever hold odors, stains, etc,etc, a cloth seat will not repel weather elements or Cat pee or anything for that matter!
a new vinyle seat can be had for under 100 bucks, then sell the old one to a cat lover who has gotten used to that yuky smell

I think I would go for replacing the seat. Depending on brand, you may be able to just replace the seat and not the whole seat assembly.

Use the tractor to spread liquid hog manure. The seat smell will not bother you!

Ha ha ha ha

I once drove past a farm where they had just spilled a load of either liquid hog or chicken manure on the road. What a stink! Took ages to get it off the truck.

Recently bought a tractor that has obviously had a tom cat living in it on a cloth seat...Whats the best to get rid of the pee smell..?

If you have a "Princess Auto" in Manitoba (we have them in Ontario) you can get a whole new tractor seat cheap

It's in a 300hp artic steer tractor and not the kind of seat to replace cheap or replace with vinyl....It's a bostrom air ride so a couple of thousand $ ..I don't like vinyl seats much they get too sweaty in the summer and my father had surgery on the end of his spine so vinyl aggrovates that too.
Just thought there was a wonder chemical to see to it..?

I might be immune to that egon..I used to look after the machinery side of a hog unit with 5000 head and i don't smell it anymore....When the machinery had been pumping human waste..now that was a gut wrencher...!

Go with Lawn Kings advice and then buy a new seat. Cat urine even penetrates concrete to the point you can't remove the smell, you have to seal the concrete to stop the odor.

If you want a really cheap fix, buy some heavy plastic contractor bags and put one, or two, around the seat and zip tie it. Just wear a painter's mask if you remove it.

Good luck!

Heard that something called odorxit (not sure of the spelling) works for this kind of thing...Haven't tried myself, but I hear it's pretty good.

Oh! in that case then cut off the old fabric remove the seat and take it to your local reupholstery shop, I'm sure they could could fix you up for way way less then the cost of that new seat,

some of us aren't even in your League, My tractors barley worth what your seat is,

..A $2000 air seat is only nice when it works, I have 2 with leaking air bags to fix this year.....We still have plenty of tractors with iron seats too...

I started dry heaving just thinking about it.

I'd try the Nature's Miracle. I've used it in carpet before the puppy learned where the door was. The trick is to let the stuff air dry after treating.

Egon · Nov 24, 2009

Now on a serious note: Knowing nothing about the seat I'd suggest it be removed from the tractor and broken down as far as possible to the upholstery portion. [Probably means whole seat]

Soak it in water for a day and then try and flush with water. Soak again a few times to try and get stinky residue out. A little ordinary dish soap might help too.

Ask a dry cleaner for their opinion. They may be able to do it with out harming the upholstery?

Otherwise as probably mentioned there are masks which will remove organic vapours.

Or cover the seat in an airtight "something" with a small vacuum pump venting outside attached?

Any help? any way I tried!

jimmyj · Nov 24, 2009

You can buy stuff like Nature's miracle at pet specialty shops. Can you soak the whole seat in it? It would be a lot cheaper than anything else. Sounds like a pretty expensive seat, I was originally thinking of one of the cheapeas.

NOTE: The original Princess Auto was on Princess street in Winnipeg!
