I said repair, not cover/ignore. I have a seat cover.

No "repair" that I am aware of. Only replace the seat. (or put a cover over it).

I repaired the seat on my JD rider with Plasti Dip. It worked so good. It’s the stuff you dip your plier handles in and stuff. First I got some of the mesh you would use for sheet rock that has adhesive on it. I put that on the tear then coated with the Plasti Dip. I let it dry and put on 4 or 5 coats. It worked very well.

If I were you, I'd buy an aftermarket CLOTH or CORDURA seat and be done with it. I don't like sitting on a vinyl seat, never have, only thing a vinyl seat does is give you a sweaty butt, cracks in cold weather and tends to look awful as they age. In fact, I tossed the OEM vinyl seat on my Kubota M9 open station and replaced it almost immediately with a Cordura seat. Put the vinyl seat on the curb and it vanished... good riddance.
