3016 Seat

[JerryK]

I thought most of the Mahindra seats were made by Michigan Seat, at least the ones coming from India. I would think they would be a fairly standard seat mounting pattern, but I HAVE BEEN WRONG IN THE PAST [ go figure, eh...??? ] Here is a link to about the exact seat that is on my 5035 [ except mine says " Mahindra " with a big M on it ] Don't know about the Korean or Jap Mahindra's.... I would think they are shipped in country and then equipped with US made tires, rims, seats, etc.. But, again, I could be blowing smoke....

Hello JerryK,

That's the seat I have got my eye on. It's a tad pricey but after spending 8+ hours on the tractor Friday/Saturday (did I mention it's my father-in-laws ) it could be worth every penny. In my case I would be looking at getting the seat as a Father's Day gift that I will get to take advantage of when I borrow the tractor . My only concern is that I hate to get a gift for him that requires fabrication to get installed. I personally don't mind the work or cost but when it comes to this type of fabrication my Father-in-law is the guy I go to for help. So I am not sure how nice of a gift this would be if it requires his effort to modify his tractor to get the seat to fit . At this point I am thinking I will verify Northern Tool's return policy and give it whirl.

Thanks,
Scott
