replacement seats

tonyw · Aug 21, 2003

Anyone replaced their seats with aftermarket types? I'm looking
for something to replace the one on my 1401d. Mine is a little wide and warped..it rubs on one fender whenever I sit, wearing a spot on the fender down to bare metal.
thanks!

TSC and Agri-supply have some nice ones you just have to look for the right bolt pattern most are the flip type small 4 bolt i'd just go look around unless you want a realy cheap one. Myself i got a case combine seat arm rest/air on my craftsmen lawn mower cost some major $$ but my back says it was worth it. My tractor has i think a kodiak seat from tsc..

I installed one on my YM2000 last night and was well pleased with it. Price was $ 42.95 plus shipping, total was less than $ 50.00 and I got it the next day. It is the same one for sell on e-bay but I called them direct and placed the order. I ordered it from Artec Tractor & Supply in Nauvoo, AL, phone # 205-384-9570.

It comes with (2) mounting brackets that worked perfect for my tractor.

Tony, if you are close to Newton/Hickory area, call Corriher Implements. They are right off of NC16 and NC10. Ted has a lot of stuff there. They advertise here on TBN.

Here is a pic of my home-made seat mount.
4-pcs 3" channel iron, 2-pcs 2x2x3/16" angle iron,
a chunk of plywood, and some machine screws.

Stacking the channel irons gave me a few extra
inches of height. I'm only 5'11", and the OEM seat
mount was killing my back AND my knees.
