Looking for a replacement tractor seat for my 1984 S470D Buck tractor. There are a staggering number of options out there, but very few if any would seem to be an exact fit or drop in replacement. I don't necessarily want to get a duplicate of the original, as there appear to be quite a few "generic" seats available with more features (adjustable backs, seat belts, front-back adjustments, etc).
The problem I am having is finding which ones will fit this tractor. The limiting factor would seem to be the width (side to side) of the seat. There is roughly 17" between the rear wheel fenders, which is like 1" smaller than many of the generic seats. Now they might fit, cause the fenders bend outwards as they go up and the seat will be up a bit. But short of getting one and trying it it's hard to say of these will work.
So thought before I end up ordering something which will not fit, I would ask here and see what people on the forum have used that worked. I don't mind fabricating some spacers or brackets, just would rather avoid having to ship back a bulk/heavy seat cause it won't work.
If you replaced your Buck seat with one of the generics, let us know which one you used and what spacers/brackets or mods you needed to make.
Thanks.
