giant_g2 23 #1 Posted March 29 I have a seat on a B-80 that the top vinyl is cracking. The metal pan under it is in great shape. I haven't been able to find anything other than complete seats for half as much as I paid for the whole tractor. I'm not sure if this is even the original seat. Any ideas of where to look for just the top/pad, or instructions on DIY replacement of the vinyl? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brockport Bill 1,662 #4 Posted March 29 cheapest, but not the best solution -- remove the vinyl strip frame edge and clean its inner slot and be sure to save the clip that joins the 2 ends of the edging on front of seat between your legs -- use black gorilla tape to repair the seat vinyl - - take your time cutting repair pieces of tape to fit the contour of the seat -- reinstall the form fitting seat to the steel frame -- folding and tucking the the vinyl seat cloth edges carefully working the vinyl strip edging around the steel frame to re-connect the seat unit to the frame -- You will need to manipulate and compress the foam to its proper contour -- End product should be usable but certainly not like new -- You may also want to visit online sites, or Amazon, etc - - there are vinyl patch repair products sold that have pieces that come in various sizes and shapes or can be cut from sheets -- i believe they are self adhesive -- Another option is local furniture repair shop or upolstry repair shop - - either buy materials they sell or have them do repair -- Also Tractor Supply sells new seats as does Northern Tool etc 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 41,118 #5 Posted March 29 I have a decent seat you can buy at the big show in 2 months for a lot less than a new one. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
giant_g2 23 #6 Posted March 30 Thanks for the suggestions! I think I'll do the gorilla tape for now and look into an upholstery shop in the future. I'd like to avoid getting a different seat if possible. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CCW 1,295 #7 Posted March 30 (edited) @giant_g2 Having the same problem I have found a few youtube videos that explain how to redo a seat. Some fairly simple and some elaborate. This a project in my future. I am also looking to replace the seat with an old time cast tractor seat instead. If I can find one that is not stupid money.

If I can find one that is not stupid money. You may want to consider a copy. I found a vintage one by accident for very little money that was missing a small piece of steel webbing. Didn't matter for comfort. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
