Richard, thanks. I finally stopped at the Western Auto store in town and got one. Sounds like the same price.............chim

TERRY: WHEN I HAD MY OLD FORD 2N THAT OLD METAL SEAT WAS A REAL PAIN. so my kids got me a spring and air seat , went on in a snap. and as comfortable as my sofa. cost about $200. now i have a b2400, the seat is ok , but the ride is a bit stiff when going over rougher ground, may have to experiment with the tire pressur. of course i am a person of smaller stature so it may be that the seat fits me better.

Carl,

Have you ever ordered a seat from one of those sites?

I replaced the seat on my B7500 today. I put a seat on it from the B7200 I had. It is a spring and shock seat like the one in Northern Tool catalog. Very simple to install.

Richard,

No, I went to a local autoparts store - caters to machinery types with Hyd hose fabrication, and misc services. They had a book for garden tractors with stuff like mower blades for my Cub $5.50 each for three blades when cub wants $9+

I originally replaced my Cub Cadet Gdn tractor seat a few years ago, then when I did the L185 restoration I just ordered another seat and made some brackets to fit and move the seat back a bit - I'm 6'3 so need all the room I can get.

Cost about $65 for a nice seat, and a few hours on the mounting.

Re: It\'s only flaw

Funny this topic got brought up, I just purchased a new seat from TSC made by Kodiak for my 7500. The good thing about it is that it's made out of a tough cloth and not plastic. Stays soft in winter and cooler when in the sun. Paid $150.
