Replacement Seat

[Sysop]

Ain't pretty and doesn't stand up to UV really well so doesn't work well for tractors that live outdoors, but SHOE-GOO is awesome stuff to seal the cracks in a seat up. It stays flexible for a long time and slows down how fast they fall apart.

Yep - just the stock seats like I have and $$$$$$$$$

I think I am going to buy a universal seat and see if I can get it to fit.

Please let us know. I just added more good duct tape yesterday.

shoegoo is much better. Once it sets up there is no sticky residue and it holds up really well unless you leave it in the sun all the time with no butt in the seat to cover it.

Crack is too big unfortunately.

If you sew it first and then cover it with shoe goo, you will have better luck.

I may have found a seat. It is sold by several suppliers including rural king.
google- KM 125 unipro-blk or KM 125 unipro-grey. Give it a look and let me know what you think. the price is under $150 shipping and everything.

Looks like it should work. The hole for the safety switch looks correct, but you can order with the switch installed and arm rests are an option. Only question I have is mounting holes. Have you checked your existing hole placement and compared to the diagram https://www.turfseats.com/Drawings/KM125UPDWG.pdf

The other thing to check is width to fit the existing base and seat belt location.

Great job finding this.

If you get it, please let us know how it fits.

Put new seat on today. I ended up going with the K&M 129 Uni-Pro instead. it has the same bolt pattern(bolts not included, uses four 5/16 by 1" bolts) but has a higher back. it cost just a few dollars more. I ordered it from Rural king For about $115 shipped. It was a little bit lighter grey and had a bit more texture than the stock seat.The seat has a plastic back instead of metal like the stock one. It is a bit softer and slightly more contoured. It was not a perfect fit as only 2 or the 4 mounting holes lined up. I had to enlarge the other two holes with a drill press and a 3/8 " bit. It was super easy. I thought I could switch my operator p. switch but after a bit of work, I gave up and just jumped the contacts with some copper wire and some electrical tape. They offer a custom switch for this seat as an added cost option. Overall I am pleased with the seat and happy with the quality.
