My Bolens/Iseki has gotten along well with its original seat until I started using it with a dump box to carry the 25 gallon garden watering tank and pump (with balancing weights on the front). The pan is crumbling to where it needs replacement.
The new seat must pivot forward, of course, but it also has to be sized to allow not only operation of the controls, but also my complex procedure for hopping onto and off the tractor from the left. Princess Auto has lots of seats, but I can't tell from the boxes if they have the hardware I need to mount them on the Bolens.
Ten years ago I spent about $300 on a new seat for my Kubota B7510 and it was a good investment. That model would be too wide for the Bolens, I think.
Advice?
It's a rainy day in spring, so this is a bit time-sensitive.
