Want to upgrade/change the 2210 seat....

[JD2210MAN]

I was just trying to find the SE seat on JDParts again... but it is just not there. They list the repair parts for it. Each arm-rest is $110.00, again that is EACH. I guess your $800.00 would be right on the money. I hope to find out the actual soon, as I want to get this idea out of my mind, as impracticable. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

I priced the fancy seat, with the arm rests, and the really cushy springs...but it was way too much money....almost $800, plus the cost of retro-fitting. So, for me, the x-series seat, off an x 485, or x 585, works just fine. I will take pictures and post this coming weekend. I think several others have made this conversion and have previously posted photos, too. I took one photo with me to the dealer that I had gotten off this web site.....just to prove to this fellow that this conversion was, indeed, possible!!

Yes, please post pictures, and details such as what part numbers are being used.
I too am looking to upgrade either the seat, the suspension or both on my 2210.
I have a seriously bumpy yard in places thes stock seat suspension just ain't cuttin' it.

What does the 4010, 4115 and other tractors have? Humm... I am going to have to stroll on over to the www.JDParts.com and find out. I can't take the bouncy ride on the 2210 any more but I am curious about the up-close detail and if it will look too funky. Plus, I don't want to sit too much higher off the tractor. So detailed pictures would be good, or! Better yet... How about a picture with some seated to see the amount of compress? /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

I am a very slender and fit person but after buying my 2210, I feel as I need a Manzier or the Bro (That is what Seinfield and George's father invented). I am gonna check out those bigger tractors right now. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

The part number for the seat suspension off the X595 is AM134254 and the price listed is $110.00. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Just checked www.JDParts.com and it appears the 4010 and 4115 don't have a suspension either. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

You can see the 4010 here:

The 4210 does have one but it is a whopping $340.00. /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

I sat in the 4210 and it is nice. The seat drop about 2 inches when I sat in it. I think the seat alone might be adaptable to the 2210 but I doubt the suspension would work-too high.

 

[JD2210MAN]

I was going to go play, on the X595, at my dealer to investigate the suspension.... but it is raining HARD today and is supposed to for days. What a bummer. They finally have them in stock after having none all winter.

Putting pictures of the conversion under the PHOTOS section. There will be several showing the new X-series seat mounted on my 2210. Hopes this works. I don't know how to attach photos to this email, so will try to do this in the photos section of the web site.

i loaded the photos under other attachments, custom-built. i have more photos if somebody wants a different view. just let me know. seat and suspension fit fine. note the little bar running across the front, just under the front lip of the seat. it has a pin that releases it. if you pull this pin and slide out the bar, you can lower the front tilt of the seat itself.....which works great for short-legged women like me!
so, go to photos to have a look.
proud moma of my beautiful 2210!

Buckie, Did you have to buy the X-series seat AND suspension or just the seat? And how much was it, if I may ask? I also saw in this thread you will sit closer to the steering wheel is that true? I dont want to get any closer…
