Hello
The basic seat was ok but over 15 years it developed quite a few rips and tears.
Just putting another OEM Sears seat back on did not seam very appealing!
Has anyone done an upgrade?
I found this seat at the local Tractor Supply and with the high back and arm rests for $155 seamed like a good fit. Well universal tractor seats are not all good fits. This one did work after I flipped the slides around so I could slide the seat on from the back instead of the front because the steering wheel was in the way from the front.
Also had to add more grease to the slides and bend the stop tab a bit to slide it all the way on but since I saved about that much when I fixed the carburetor and tuned it up myself it was a good treat!

The arm rests make it nice and cozy.
How does it look now?
