Kubota seat

My seat is in pretty bad shape. Can these be recovered, or do I just need to buy a whole new seat?

You might be able to find a cover, but the foam needs replacing as well.

If it were me, I'd be looking for a used seat. IMO, it's not worth the time & effort to recover.

Maybe northerntool.com could help in your quest.

I have recovered old seats but with this much foam damage you will not get a like new seat... TS has a pretty good selection of seats.

At work we had good luck with a local upholstery shop rebuilding our forklift seats when they deteriorated like that. Not sure what's around you, but we're only a few miles from Manheim Auto Auction and there are a bunch of recon facilities around.

The Black Talon seats the TSC carries are good. Several different versions are available.

I have a B7100DT that I bought new in 1978. The seat was torn like yours, went online and found an identical seat. I'm not sure where I bought it, but I think it was on ebay.

I would NEVER buy any Kubota seat even though I live and breathe Kubota simply because they are overpriced. You can buy a better seat from Rural King, Michigan Seat or other online retailers for much less. and seats today are all made to ISO standards with means the will all interchange as far as bolt up is concerned. That especially applies to the sweaty butt vinyl seats. Even my open station M9 that came with a vinyl seat now sports a Cordura seat for literally hundreds less that the Kubota edition.

Visit an upholstery shop or an auto body repair shop
You could also go to a fabric shop and get the material
and foam and be a DIYer

When I was looking for a seat for my Ford 1510 I looked hard at boats seats and if I had not been trying to keep it original because it belonged to my Dad I would have have done it.

Surplus center also has a good selection of seats.

Yep, the problem is that old fashioned silver duct tape just doesn't last long enough. I've switched to using Gorilla tape. It lasts longer.

The seat on my 2001 NH TC 33D was not as bad as that, but getting to be a problem. When I looked at the cost of replacement seats, I decided to pass on that option. I had a seat cover on my riding mower for years that had held up well. I searched around, and sure enough the manufacturer made a larger size. The size designed for 16.5"-18" was a good fit, and a lot more comfortable than the damaged seat.

Just replaced my 25 yr. Old seat on the L3710 with the Black Talon for $170. Almost a direct replacement. I did have to make the holes in the rod mount into ovals to match the 7.5" spread. The spread on the old seat was 200mm (7.8 in.)

I like the Talon Cordura covered seat that replaced the sweaty butt Kubota vinyl seat on my open station M9. A big improvement and no sweaty butt anymore and of course much less expensive. Kubota, for some reason is quite 'proud' of their seats, why, I have no idea.

One thing I do, do and that is, if the open station M9 is sitting outside, I cover the seat with a large plastic trash bag. Keeps the cats off the Cordura and keeps it dry if it rains. I do have a canopy on it but it still gets wet.
