I guess I need to drop a few pounds. I discovered that the seat brackets on my JD 4100 tractor were broken! Had to buy and install a new seat. Easy job, only on cotter pin to pull and replace.

Guess I need to skip a few lunches and dinners.

Same thing happened to me on my Kubota B7800. The seat was good, but the seat brackets were failing. Easy job, but $60 or so I could have spent on something else.

I thought about welding it, but would have had to remove the vinyl cover and all the padding. New seat was $190 at the local dealer.

Guess I'll need to wait a while longer before buying that new pistol caliber carbine I'm looking at.
