Replacement Seat for 314-8?

[hotajax 284]

Good day gents, (and ladies - got to be fair, you know ):  Do y'all have recommendation for a seat?  No I don't need a beer can holder or stereo.  Plain old seat.  it's over 40 years old, the vinyl is nice and crispy and now cracked the whole length of it.   Need something to support my fat ass that will bolt right on.  Thank you gents.

I remember one of you gents told me you bot a seat from TS, and it bolted right on.  I can't remember who the member was, but the dealer was definitely Tractor Supply.  If you can remember some details about the seat, I'd be appreciative.  Thanks.

I have a TS seat on my 308 it was a direct bolt on affair. One of the pre drilled bolt patterns in the seat bottom is the 7.5 x 7 Wheel Horse seat bolt pattern. I’d assume the others in that brand have the same pattern built in. It’s a bit expensive but I haven’t had an issue with the seat.

Thanks for putting this up there.  Do you have any issues swinging your leg over the higher back?

@hotajax No, I usually just step over the shifter, on to the right or left foot board and sit down on the seat.

On some of my tractors I sit on the side of the seat and swing my leg over the steering wheel. Most know I'm vertically challenged

What kinda seat do you have now?

Heck, I am 5’ 13” (6’-1”) and I do that on most of my tractors. Certainly don’t like kicking it into gear with my big feet while trying to not fall off.

Never mount or dismount a running garden tractor or anything else.

@rjg854I have the original seat.  Has a nice Wheel Horse logo imprinted on the seat.

Leg swing over the steering wheel (lower the implement lift arm to make it easier) and engine off for mount & dismount are my habits as well. Exception only for yank-start!

That's better than being horizontally blessed.
