New Seat & Steering Wheel Design

Madhatter..... give us a review of that MILSCO 200 seat when you get it.....
Did you get the steering wheel off...?? I just got the service manual and it is definitely a splined shaft with a nut to hold it on.

Haven't tried on the tractor but all my boat steering wheels were tapered shaft with a woodruff key and a threaded end for a nut to hold it on. Always takes penetrating fluid and light taps while pulling. I've used wheel pullers before. Sometimes takes a lot of figuring to find a way to put enough pressure on the steering wheel and not damage or mar up anything else.

Yep - it is a splined shaft and a retaining nut on top. Apply some penetrating oil and let it sit. Then apply upward force on the steering wheel and giving the steering column a tap or 2 with a hammer and brass drift (or small block of hardwood). Use care not to damage the threads on the steering column.

Will do. Have a feeling i may have to disasemble my old seat to use the brackets for the new seat.

Got my new seat. Torn between black and grey, went with grey as it matches the rims exactly. Added arm rest as well. I live in Canada and the dollar right now is meh, but all in with shipping, coverted dollar wise was about $325 Canadian. Now have figure out mounting, looked at the Agco online book but did not see the new seat part numbers. The main seat frame is the same so with the new mounting bracket i should be good..... now, anyone have part numbers for the new loader quick connects? Steering wheel? Then will have the same upgrades as the 2018 model, other than the, in my opinion, better seat. :thumbsup:

Appoligoze for the pictures sideways... uploaded like that....

That is one fine looking garage Madhatter. Wow, it sure doesn't resemble mine lol.

That was my first thought too Axle.......That is a fine looking garage. If mine looked like that I'd probably have a cot in it...

Thanks, its taken me a while to get to that point. Can’t see it, but there is a wall dividing the vehicle side and my working side with benches,seating,tv etc. It is my happy place.

Dealer could not find the new part numbers for the new style seat or couplings which is strange as the new design came out mid 2017. Pics show the two I need.
