sqrlgtr 2,425 #1 Posted February 24 Looking at getting a new seat for the ol 1257. Don't know how previous owner (@WHX??) was so ruff on the one on it? Would like to get a poll on which seat y'all prefer. I know it is ultimately my choice but thought it might be fun to get a tally on which would be the most popular. I think I like the one with the white middle. From left to right ABCD what say ye Wheel Horse junkies. If anyone has pictures of these seats installed, I sure would like to see um. This is the seats Matt Castagno sells on fakebook . 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's easy... hear tell curds and beans have roughly the same octane equivalent in the northern variety Homo sapien... I vote B. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Handy Don 16,156 #5 Posted February 24 For working? The one with the sturdiest material. For showing off? The two-tone. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bar Nuthin 2,257 #6 Posted February 25 If you use the tractor for any work, I'd avoid the white. If it's just for staring at, then the black/white ones look pretty sweet. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WHX?? 55,868 #8 Posted February 25 I'll go out on a limb here and say get them all. Swap them out weekly for a different look. SWMBO can't say a dang thing she's got different outfits. The same seat when new to. 1 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thegearhead0324 1,411 #16 Posted February 25 (edited) Last year with mine, I couldn’t find what I was looking for so I cleaned up my original seat pan and reused the original seat covers, sprayed it with vinyl fabric paint, and stuffed it to “plump” it back up, as it was flat as a pancake. Just an idea if your seat cover is still decent. My vote is the black and white seat. Edited February 26 by Thegearhead0324 2 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

953 nut 64,909 #19 Posted February 25 A and D, use A for work and swap to D for shows. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dan 312-8 497 #20 Posted February 25 Well as @c-series don knows, I am a purest. "Let it stock!" as my dad once told me when I revealed my plans for my 1980 Chevy K-10 pickup. 4" lift kit, oversize tires, rollbar, etc.. A mantra that I live by to this day. So, with that said, I'd go with whatever seat is closest to period correct, I think that is option D? If I ever get a mid/late 70s B-80, it will have option E for sure!

sqrlgtr 2,425 #21 Posted February 25 OK, so far results look like this. B=9 votes D=5 E=4 A=2 C=0 B is clearly in the lead. No love for C. I still haven't decided on which one I like the best but I have it narrowed down to the top 3 anyhow. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
