c-series don 9,374 #2879 Posted February 2 @SylvanLakeWH The story behind the seat is as follows. Fifteen or more years ago I contacted the last of the Rolle brothers, they owned the dealership that I bought my Work Horse from and had already been closed for probably ten years. I asked him if he had anything left from his dealership that I might be interested in, and he said he had a GT-14 and that was about it. A friend of mine was interested in it( I was not) we went and looked at it, and he ended up buying it! As we were about to leave he said hang on, I have something for you! He then came back with that seat and the mount. It actually is a super lowback genuine WH seat, I’ve never seen one that low? Maybe it’s off of a “A” Series? They owned a huge machine shop at the dealership, so he had one of his men make up this aluminum bracket. He told me it was for his grandkids and they had grown up, so it was time for someone else to enjoy it. At that time my kids were already too big for it, but I knew someday I’d put it to good use! I’ll take some pictures of it and the mount, it’s actually quite simple. The only thing I’d do differently if I were to build one is put it on the other side, because it’s on the discharge side of the mower deck and I don’t like the kid being near that. @JCM Jim you are correct! It’s for Lucy and my granddaughter! Sorry no front shots of us as my daughter does not want pictures of my granddaughter on the internet and I have to respect that. However I think this picture is just fine! 2 1 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

c-series don 9,374 #2890 Posted February 9 Okay so it’s not exactly a side shot! But I did get some seat time today, we got around 4” last night. First time since 1984 that I didn’t leave my house to have to go plowing and sanding. Felt kind of weird being able to stay home and not have to go to work in the middle of the night. I waited until it was light out then plowed the driveway with my 418-C and went back inside to the wood stove. 1 12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thegearhead0324 1,265 #2895 Posted February 15 Here’s a side shot of my 1257. Back in the fall, I regrettingly sold my sickle bar mower. I used the money to fund another project. Later on this year I will be trying to find another one, maybe a Haban, I know all are hard to come by these days but it is what it is. But the ol 1257 is still running strong, still got the 54” plow assembly and tub cart in the corner. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JCM 9,993 #2897 Posted March 8 Factory WH Photo. A 1987 418-A. One of my favorite models that has stood the test of time. Rugged and reliable for most any task around the acreage. 3 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
c-series don 9,374 #2898 Posted March 9 @JCM Does the 418-A have the deep dish rear wheels? My 481-C does, but my 418-8 does not. To me those wide wheels really change the look of the tractor. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JCM 9,993 #2899 Posted March 9 No it does not. I have a real nice pair of rear 520 rims in the waiting. @c-series don 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
