Seat choices 520H

I like seat #2 as well. How much does that one cost?

I also use seats like #2 with arm rests.

These pics show 2 but I have the identical setup on all 4 of my 520's.

 

Arm rests are nice but pricey, they cost about the same as the seat itself.

Nice looking horses Cleat! It seems quite a few people want a nice 520 and you have 4 ??!! It seems the price you quoted is a good deal, but I am a cheap SOB and $79 gets my cheap-o-meter all a flutter, I am at bottom right. But my seat is absolute garbage on the 518!!

I paid $79.99 US for the Black Talon seats armrests on ebay no tax.

 

The seats I got from TSC for $79.99 Canadian + tax (13%)

 

These are not a direct bolt-on and I made up adapter plates.

 

Here are the plans.

You can just see the spacers here between the seat and spring.

 

Even though these seats have a lot of different mounting holes, they do not have the proper ones for the 520.

Seat #2 isn't on sale anymore and is $99.99+ shipping . Should have just ordered it when @WVHillbilly520H showed the add  that would have sucked up the shipping costs . Seat #1 is still on sale at $10 off for 97.99+shipping . Even though my butt will never set in this seat , I want the right look . @cleat impressive collection you have there , hope mine turns out as nice as yours .

Cleat those seats are more of a CUB CADET Quiet Line design and a shorter back rest than the original '96 newer520/xi or Michigan V-818 seats, but as long as you're happy with them is all that matters, my '97 seat from day 1 was always slick to set in compared to the V-818 I got this summer, and the '95 520 with bagger I bought late this summer has the original seat which is slick and uncomfortable and has arm rests they look cool, but to me somewhat of a hassle every time I have to empty those bags just my ,Jeff.

And the winner is #2 but it is not a direct bolt on as stated in the first post . Neither of the Michigan seats are .

Ok I probably shouldn't admit this in public but that is one beautiful Cub Cadet ! Since I'm confessing I kinda secretly want one of those but do not tell anyone 😬
