What did you do with the PTO/engine kill switch under the original Kubota seat

Wel,l I had to send back the Grammer MSG95 the base of the seat was to wide. I re-ordered a MSG75 just like DDT's bought the cover from the M- series from my local dealer just waiting for the new seat. Question for DDT: did you add more bolts to the OEM seat pan or just use the 4-on top and the 2-in front? Also how many bolts did you use on the MSG75 seat base? Thanks

oh yea, what's the going rate on a used-almost new L5740 seat?

Pegneck, I use the 4 on top for both the pans and the two in front for the OEM pan, the seat mounts to the rear of the seat pans. seat is strong and soild.

DDT, thanks for the reply. My seat just showed up and I'll install tomorrow. I noticed the electrical connection has 5-wires square plug. Do I need all 5-wires or just 2 to get 12volts to the seat? Which wires did you use?

Pegneck, I thought that info with seat instructions....might be able to find in on the net to?

DDT, Seat installed just like you did what a difference! Question on wiring, I used add-a fuse and have it connected to the dome light which is always on(key on off position) does this matter? Or should it be controlled with the key on...ie radio ? Thanks

You will have to pump it up every so often to keep the needle in the center of window, thats the only time it uses power. Your choice. I dont remember how I wired mine.....been to long now, might have to look...

With hardware, steel and determination you can put an air-ride seat in about anything. I helped this guy who was crushed by a horse and had severe back pain install an air-ride seat in an old Belarus tractor.
