Bought some armrests for my 2016 Massey 1720 TLB.
There is a left and right, and you have to buy them separately. There is a knob under the armrest where you can adjust the tilt, up or down, probably an inch and half each way. They do not come with any assembly instructions, but assembly is fairly simple. (I am not sure about that wavy spring washer, it could go under the outside metal cap, instead of the inside against the mount)

Did you buy them from your dealer or online? Could you post the part numbers please?

Sweet. Thank you. Would you mind sharing your dealer's price. It never ceases to amaze me where the manufacturers will cut corners to save a buck. How much could those units actually cost them?

You will not like the price, I didn't. $160 each. My wife wanted me to get them. I ride my grandson around in my lap, on the tractor, and it adds a safety factor on the slopes.

I saw the new seats and arm rests on the new GC's - and I noticed their arm rests are somewhat different than yours in addition to color being different of course.

Thanks. And you're right - $300+ for $50 worth of armrests is ridiculous. If they had put them on the tractor in China (or wherever) and you didn't have to pay for manufacturing, export, shipping, import, dealer markup and sales tax they could still be affordable. Alas...
