Great idea for a thread!  :text-bravo:

 

Here's  a couple of mine.

 

'79 C-121.  I think that's an aftermarket seat. Last pic is "uncovered".

'80 C-105 with feed sack cover, then cover removed.

Off of a C-125 I no longer own. So ugly I had to cover it in a trash bag to go out in public!

Man, there are some raggedy, ratty, ugly seats here.  And I thought the one on my 416-8 was bad, but it's looks great compared to some of these in this thread.

When I rescued this 1076 last year, the first thing I did to it was replace the ugly seat!

I'll be honest, the seat itself was in good shape and i hated to pitch it so It is currently sitting on a shelf in the shop awaiting future use lol

There's one "seat" in this post that's missing very crucial duct tape.

How about some "crack spackle"

@WHX14 I wonder how many other dummies are going back to 14   than think of all the comments they could make to you about bringing that up again. I can still see it with my eyes closed.

      Looking at this Ferris seat and wondering about the issues I may encounter in trying to switch out entire seat on the 417 or even if it can be done ?
      Any info would be appreciated and thanks in advance.

      Show off what your doing from the seat of your Horse!!! Fixed up a mowing deck for the 1277 and put the plow on the C1014. Getting ready to level a topsoil pile and going down the block to mow the small park to test the mowing deck out.

      Greetings All,
      Really nice site, and I am a new member.   As I kick back and eat my lunch,  I could not have imagined that Wheel Horse Tractor owners would have such a cool and well-organized place to ‘meet’ despite being out of production for so long.  My name is Ron and I have a 1979 C-81.   It has a WH pull-behind cart as well as a snow plow with chains, weights, etc..
      The tractor belonged to my grandfather, who purchased it new in 1979 for just over $1,100.00.  Some of my best memories are learning to drive it (barely reaching the pedals) and trying to understand the difference between the clutch and brake.   I believe at one point it had a lawn sweeper, which eventually just dragged and made skid marks across the lawn until it was retired.
      My grandfather drove this tractor year-round for 7 years until he passed away.  In the winter it was plowing and hauling logs to the house, in the spring it aerated,  fall it mulched, summer it mowed.   The C-81 always remained at his house and in my family.
       
      The most interesting part (or at least interesting to me) is that for the last 39 years, this mower has been in-service without missing one season.  It has never been out of commission.   To this day, we have it picked up for service every year and it is still running on its original 8hp Kohler Engine and cuts just over an acre of lawn.  The only major replacements were pulley bearings for the blade deck and a starter motor.   It is ultra-quiet and never strains while performing its tasks. So, when you look at the picture,  you probably see a beat up old machine, but I can assure you that is a tried-and-true Wheel Horse used year-round for nearly 4 decades and maintained as best we thought possible.  It’s a testament to a reliable and powerful brand. 
       
      That said,  I have decided to lessen the workload on this machine and perhaps get another Wheel Horse as a tribute to my Pop.    The main issue is that the cutting deck on this machine is between 32-34” (I believe) and it takes a long time to cut the lawn.  (although I enjoy the peaceful feeling of doing it, it’s not conducive with my day job).   The secondary issue is that this is a rear-discharge deck.  I’d like to somehow bag the clippings for most of my cuts in order to feed my mulch/compost pile.   I’m open for suggestions as to what model would be best.   I do have some hills (a few steep).  
       
      One final note…
      I’d love to crown this C-81 with a new (or comparable) seat.   My goal is to get one as close to original as possible, with the same bolt patterns.  I can provide photos if needed.  Any help would be appreciated.   Again, glad to be a part of this community, and please bear with me as I get used to navigating this site.   
      Thanks for reading.

      I have a 1963 633 with the steal Square pan seat. It is cracked and looking to replace it. I can find loads of the standard round replacement seats but not a square one. Does anybody know where I can find one?
    • Vixmith
      By Vixmith
      I would appreciate recommendations for a replacement seat for my 1990 520H. Original seat has several holes and sponge sticking out. Big problem is me sliding sideways when mowing along a slope. Thanx for the help.
