Where do you find good seats for your tractor?

[muz123 1,191]

I have a 520-h and it needs a new seat, i've been looking on sites on the internet and can't seem a good seat. I am looking for a seat with arm-rests like the original seat had. any good web-sites or ideas were to buy a seat? [0-220$ range]

 

Thanks,

 

Dave

Heres a pretty good recent thread on the matter.

I bought one from NorthernTool for my 520.

It was on sale for $100 when I bought it, I may have had a coupon code also I can't remember. The only issue I have with it is that the back flops forward when I put gas in the mower, not a big deal but something you don't have with a rigid seat back. The plus side is you can leave it outside in the sun and fold it down and it's not baking hot 5 minutes later.
It also comes with the sliding track hardware so if yours is lpose or rusted solid you won't have to buy that.

Edit-I see my link doesn't work.  It's the same seat as the "surplus seat" but through Northern. 

Just do a search for the Universal Fold-Down Seat — Black, Model# 367040 Edited April 3, 2015 by danielbaute

About 5 years back Lowes carried a high back seat made by Arnold. They no longer carry them however you can find them elsewhere but they are expensive. Those were the best seat I used to buy.

Thanks, i think ill get the one off of surplus center because its a good price an it also has the arms.

Matt-

That looks like a very hard seat. Do yourself a favor and step up on the price and buy one of those arnolds I was talking about.

[squonk 38,911]

That surplus center seat is the most comfy I ever sat on. I got 6 yrs. on it now and not a blemish on it.

Well, you know as well as I do that my 310 wont get tons of seat time. I'm more interested in a correct "look" that will be clean without looking totally "universal bolt-on" either. So, from a looks perspective, I'm not a big fan of the high back seats. I feel like I took my parents kitchen table arm chair, chopped off the legs and bolted it on my tractor.

I don't like the look of the high back seats either.  I see some that look like they bolted a recliner on the rear fender pan.  The "surplus seat" really isn't any higher than a factory high back seat from Wheel Horse, it's actually a little shorter than the factory 520 seat, not by a lot but it was noticable.

I like the high back seats for comfort and for my back.

[chex313 123]

and for real comfort... at $350

I have that seat and love it. Very comfy and roomy. Love the arms to lean on. I've almost fallen

asleep in that seat numerous times!! It bolts right on.

[muz123 1,191]

I just ordered mine 

[robojoe9 28]

I just bought one from Northern tool for my 310-8. $52 shipped. Very nice seat IMO. Will see how it holds up. Nothing fancy, just a low back similar to original. Bolted right up.

I got mine from tractor supply only 60 bucks and more comfortable than original.
