JCM 11,373 #1 Posted 17 hours ago Both tractors could use a face lift on the leather seats and steering wheels from prior abuse. I do have a few leads on small local shops that I need to connect with too see if they would be interested in a Winter project. Any how I have been storing a very nice clean 1988 - 89 high back 520 original seat that is in mint condition and decided to install it on my recent second 420. Sure is comfortable and doesn't look too bad in my opinion. 5 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ri702bill 12,766 #3 Posted 10 hours ago That steering wheel appears to be an off the shelf Grant Industries Classic Series model. Probably faster & easier just to replace it with new. Years back, the overmolded Kelch lower hub cracked & broke on my C81 - while in use. The steering wheel came up & out in my Son's hands... I remedied that for good by machining up a 2-pc adapter and installing one of Grant's wheels. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Since you have enough info to get started, why not check them out for a new one? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This chrome wheel came from Summit Racing and it's on my first LSE. Spent some $$$$$ with them since the mid 70's on the muscle cars. Good products and great customer service. Didn't know Superior was still around. Not sure if they could replicate the same leather wrapped wheel ?? Good idea though. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JCM 11,373 #9 Posted 59 minutes ago Used the aluminum one that is stock for the LSE. Bolts right up with the horn kit with chrome cap. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
