Seat cover coming off

[RaydaKub]

Well I've put up with it long enough. I pulled the edge off the pan from the bottom of the side all the way up to the middle top. I used pliers stretch and pull the material far enough to wrap around the pan and used 3 vice grips to hold it in place. I the loosened one vice grips at a time and put Roy's Gorilla Glue on the pan and clamped it back down. I repeated this 4 more times because I had to keep the vice grips no more than about an inch apart. After I got the material glued, I put a stream of glue all along the edge and put edge back on. I used the vice grips and several clamps to pinch this down until the glue set. It might not be perfect, but it will probably last a couple years. At least I hope it will. Thanks Roy!

Raydakub sometimes you just got to do what ever it takes before it drives you nuts. By the sound of it, it should outlast the machine.

Thanks, but I'm hoping for a year tops and then I can show she-who-must-be-obeyed that it let go again and now I have no other option but to get a replacement seat. Probably with arm rests.

In the interim, get one of the Deere seat covers. Try eBay first as you'll find the prices considerably lower then at a dealer. NONE of those seat covers fit as tightly as they look in the pictures, but they fit decently and they will protect the OEM seat from the elements.

That's just it though, Roy. If I have repaired it once and it goes again, then it must truly be time to replace it. Any seat cover will just make it last longer. This is the forward slope Kubota seat. I would like to replace it anyway, but I gotta have proof that it needs it, and 1 repair is all the proof I think I'll need. I just hope I didn't use TOO MUCH glue! :wink:

When you finally break though that vacuous void, known as your wife's way of thinking, try out the Tractor Supply seat that is available for the BX and B's............Around $100 but MUCH cheaper than Messick's Kubota replacement......YES, it eliminates the forward sloping/non -existant back support of the original........God bless.........Dennis
