Many of you have seen my one piece black with white pleat seat covers that use a draw string designed for the Lawn Rangers and other mid 60's Wheel Horse tractors.
I had a request from one of our members to produce a "two piece" seat that would fit the metal seat pan of the 857 and Commando series of tractors with the two piece interior sheet metal seat frame. I'm happy to announce that I will have a couple of these seats available for the 2014 Wheel Horse Collectors Show in Pennsylvania.
PICTURES!
Uninstalled seats.
Here's a picture of an original seat on my 857 so you can see what it will look like and two pictures of a one piece that was made with the same materials.
These are the last seat covers that I will produce.
So if you’ve been interested in finishing off that restoration project you worked so hard on, now is the time to buy that seat. Order and pay for yours today and I’ll deliver to the show for free (no shipping charge).
These faithfully reproduced seat covers were made using high quality marine grade vinyl designed for years of dependable service. An original seat cover from an 857 was used as a pattern to assure accuracy and fit. Materials were chosen that most closely match the original vinyl material used in the 60’s for color, style and texture. In order to save costs on shipping, foam is not included but is available at stores like Joann Fabrics or Michaels. I have also used three layers of ½ inch carpet pad purchased at Lowes. One or one and a half inch works well, depending upon its firmness. Cut the foam to fit the different angles of the seat bottom and back. I use 3M Upholstery adhesive and glue the foam to the metal pan. Using adhesive is only an option and not required. Do not use adhesive on the vinyl except where the vinyl attaches to the interior sheet metal frame as it can bleed through.
I accept checks (with the appropriate waiting period), cash or PAYPAL at burleyfarm@yahoo.com
Price: $56 shipped east of the Mississippi in the continental US.
$57 shipped west of the Mississippi in the continental US. OR,

Remember, these are the last seats that I will produce. There will be a limited number of seat covers available (2 or 3) at the show so order yours today.
