Seat bolts directly to the pan but you can jack it up a bit if you are long legged.

@mike avad  was just snoopin around , for your seat info , found this  picture fest , gives a lot of insight , those seats /  base mount are  can easily be tweaked to fit your situation , unless you have to have exact pristine  factory fit , done a lot of seat refitting ,not difficult , pete

I added them to mine as well. Depending on the terrain you use your tractor on, as well as the amount of seat time you will have, a set of springs most definitely reduce what pop called “planter fatassyitis”, which I acquired from using no springs…

My ‘71 raider 12 had no springs. (Just for the record)

I'm a blind welder is the reason I didn't add this picture to the build. Got old and can't see.  I add the 1/8" x 2" flat to the front and a 2"x2" x 1/8" angle to the rear.

Also added some 1" square tube on top of the fender with a few washers to raise the front of the seat.

The fender also hinges off a 3/4" rod welded in the seat frame. where is also a fender latch at the front .
