New seat ideas?

[OldWorkHorse 3,045]

Looking to replace / update my OG wheel horse seat on my 1997 wheel horse 314-8. Just wondering what some people have replaced there's with or what they like and why. Thanks!

That one looks pretty comfy.  Any reason for wanting a new one?

 

I seem to prefer an old steel pan, unless I’m holding a kid.  Then, a high back is the way to go!  Arm rests are even better!

That's a nice seat! And I have a small child that loves rides so nice high back a good idea. And just don't look up to par with the rest of machine and the seat under the cover is cracked and beat up good seat but looking to finish up the tractor with a nice new seat

Might need a wheelie bar if I mount that on it but that would be comfortable.

This seat seems to work well on 's low profile on the seat keeps things from getting tight between the steering wheel and the seat.

These are not too bad either.

Steve look at boat seats too. 

Some of the folks down types are quite comfortable and convenient.

One of the things I would consider with a new seat is how you mount the tractor.  Do you step through or swing your leg over the seat.  I tend to swing my leg over thus making a high back seat a problem.

Excellent point and absolutely agreed. 

 

I have a (mid to high??) Seat on my Cinnamon Horse C160. 

I swing over sometimes. Wouldn't be possible with a high back.

Here's a couple options. My favorite is the seat on the 76. The seat on the 05 is OK but I removed the arm rests. I liked them fine but for a while I had no choice but to mow on some pretty steep inclines. I wanted the ability to make a hasty exit if something would happen. The 76 seat is comfortable, reasonably priced and readily available. It's what will go on the 05 should I need a new one.

@ebinmaine, do you still have cinnamon horse seat on the steel frame you made? Thinking of doing somthing like that to get a little more adjusting out of the seat position. Just can't remember how it was completely set up.

Mine is bolted to the seat pan with 1.5" square tubing. 

I don't have it adjustable but it could be done with proper seat tracks.
