ebinmaine 71,589 #2 Posted May 3 Excellent price. Mounting would obviously depend what's under the seat for bolt spacing. It's possible you'd have to make an adapter plate or drill holes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ri702bill 9,160 #5 Posted May 3 Not having full foot rests like a C series to give you a good place to climb on & in (or out) will be a challenge due to the very high seat back. Did something very similar to an old Craftsman rider using a fixed back bucket seat from a Vega Panel Wagon. Not pretty, but functional.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The seats I picked up do fold down .. so hopefully that makes it easier to mount dis mount 4 hours ago, ebinmaine said: Excellent price.

Now to clean them up.. maybe some simple green and water, elbow grease Edited May 3 by FLtractor 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That was a MAF issue. And I just finished working on the rototiller, that was someone leaving a drill bit in the main jet kind of issue. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FLtractor 47 #9 Posted May 3 Would simple green be a safe option to clean up these seats without harming the material? Better recommendations Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 71,589 #10 Posted May 3 I'd try windex first. Likely less aggressive. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Retired Wrencher 5,701 #13 Posted May 6 FL you may find it hard to get on and off with those high back seats. Just my . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 23,200 #14 Posted May 6 Actually, my seat folds down. I can fold it down and then straddle it and lift it up behind me. Those seats are comfortable to ride in. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
