Very nice!!! Sparky, that seat you'll find on most of the wheelhorses that were sold in Belgium and England. They're very comfortable, I've one on my Raider 10.

Mark, Pass on my compliments to Nigel for an excellent job on it. Does he have the Plastic Button for the Lift Lever Detent?.

Sparky, The seats were originally made by a Company in UK named 'Bostrum' and supplied WH in Belgium. The company was taken over (or merged) by (with) 'Kab'. They still make them to the original spec and are very comfortable IMO. At least the 40 year old one on my Raider 12 is. They are the equivilent to about $75.00.

will do - I'm trying to get him to join the forum - he's making a rather nice job of a Raider now... though he has lost 5 decals for it and I have to reprint

not sure if he has the end or not - I do have one sparehe can have!

What a beauty of a tractor! Very nicely done. I'm not a big fan of stack type mufflers on these smaller tractors. I think one reason is because they generally wind up looking REDNECK or cobbed together. HOWEVER, your customer has perfected the stack muffler on a small tractor. It looks perfect and like it was meant to be there right from the factory. I'm also diggin that seat!
