clueless 2,989 #1 Posted December 30, 2022 Has anybody ever seen one of these seats before? The wheel horse and cecil pound lettering is embossed on the seat and painted white. 4 1 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 67,465 #2 Posted December 30, 2022 Leans towards the aftermarket for me but I don't know much at all about the early years. @stevebo @Pullstart @AMC RULES Who else has Seniors? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AMC RULES 37,130 #7 Posted December 30, 2022 I've seen a few different versions, thinking somebody maybe has some foundry connection in their family. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

clueless 2,989 #13 Posted January 1, 2023 The reason I posted was when I purchased it I thought it wasn't an actual WH product, it just looked cool. When I received it, I saw that the lettering was embossed (forged) in the seat. I still think it is an aftermarket seat. My question is if someone went to the trouble to make this, wouldn't you think they would have made several? Since no one here has any info on it I assume it's just a one off. The person I purchased it from was a member here a few years back, but I don't think he is now, he use to sell WH stuff on ebay. By the way, the tractor it's on is Mike's little red 704. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If'n it was sand cast and the mold for the sand wasn't carefully set aside then one would be all you'd get. If someone saved the sand mold then folks with a half decent forge could pour as many as they wanted until that mold wore out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Really, to do this all you need is some mold-making sand, some scrap iron, a small blast furnace, and a few years of experience, right? (Oh, and neighbors that don’t mind the industrial aroma from the operation would help.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
