You did a great job on your tractor. NOTE: My C160 came with arm rest. I got the book that came with it ---It was a delux edition The best I can under stand. It had a band that went across the back an bolted on with the arms attached. There are some pictures in here of it somewhere. Again a great job on your tractor. The best to you and yours. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I buy online all the time, but that store has no physical address, no phone number and no reasonable contact information. They only take one credit card and no PayPal. They had those seats last year while Northern Tool was still selling them and I opted to waste the extra money and bought from Northern. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just ordered another seat that day through PayPal to the link I posted... Most other sites/stores no longer carry the Michigan V-818 (are they out of business or no longer market this particular seat?) so I took a shot, if it fails I have paypal protection, if not I shall order a couple more.

From their FAQs: 2. Q: What are the accepted payment methods? A: We accept Credit Cards (only Visa), and Bank Transfer. I do believe that seat has been out of production for some time. I was surprised that the seat was much nicer than the pictures where they seem to have little padding. I think you will be safe with PayPal, I would take the chance that way. If you search for that seat, you will find similar sites selling them, probably all feeding out of the same back alley warehouse. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also looks like Michigan seat "merged" with Milsco seating, and Black Talon from Concentric is another supplier.
