Power Heated leather van seat replacement in Backhoe?

[DiskDoctr]

Case 580k seat cushions basically gone. Replacements are $$$$.
Anyone use bucket seat to replace backhoe seat? What about wiring up heat and seat position buttons (on the seat itself)

Has enclosed cab but will it mold? What about side airbags- disable or remove?

I have the seat available. Dumb idea or Smart idea?

If you make it fit and spin you will have a happy bottom!

Yep! Thinking about using the existing square mount that will allow it to swivel and adjust up/down.

You haven’t been in a new tractor on a farm lately have you they are really nice.

Even in the late nineties my father in law had lots of trouble getting someone to operate the one old IC 1466 left on his place without a cab.

Now you have me pondering how to put a heated seat on my open station MF451. I never did like plowing snow, that would ease the pain.
Naww, it won't work, the tractor only has a 35A alternator.
good luck with your project.

I can't run a tractor with a cab, it prevents mowing under tree limbs on the perimeter of fields. Some of those limbs are a foot through. That one field is where A tree trimming crew cannot get their bucket truck. I keep things trimmed up with an electric pole saw and a genset, but it only has a 10" bar.

Still not sure about the airbag though. I am sure it is completely discharged now, but what about when I plug it in?
