Well the seat on my 655 Ztrak had it-after almost 1500 hours-and some very rough use by my 250 lb. son (second owner) and his buddy (original owner) who is also no featherweight.
Deere replacement-$294 bucks-shocker! Went to Tractor Supply, China seat 89 bucks, Made in Italy, 149 bucks. Sent my money to the EU. I have to say, its HDPE as was the original which by the way was made by an American co. but in England. The new one also appears heavier and has a lot of steel in the base plate to accomodate multiple bolt patterns- the original did not. Does not have arm rests-but I never used those in any case. The slide adjustment transferred over with no problem.
Bottom line looks like a good product at half the cost.
