The coveted 3-piece Wheel Horse seat

[squonk 38,961]

That came out great Bob! Have you ever used one of those type seats? I had a real nice on that came on my 75 C-100 but it was one of the most uncomfortable seats ever. I ended up selling it.

So.....did ya restore the sweet seat I gave ya at the show?

Mike...........

I agree about comfort. The only gripe I have with WH's is the lousy seats right on the fender and being so close to the steering wheel. I just picked up a parts tractor with a like new $100 seat from TSC .I put it on Marvin along with some springs. What a difference!!

I have a 1986 Wheel Horse original seat and the molded cover and foam is disintegrating before my eyes. Is there any way to save the cover even if it is ripped in several places? If so how? It won't be long till I am sitting on the foam cushion. I would like to learn how to recover this seat. Does anyone have any ideas where I can find the seat cover complete with the WH logo and foam to rebuild this seat and instructions and /or pictures? Thanks for your help in advance.

The model is 21-12k803 on the 1986 WH with the seat cover issue.

Somebody will correct if I am wrong, But the logo is the problem Glenn. Getting a set upholstered isnt a big deal if you got the money, But I dont think anybody YET has took the bull by the horns and figured out how to reproduce the logo in the seat, with that said I think one of the geniouses on here will do it eventually.

CNC the logo into a stainless steel "stamp pad", heat the metal logo under controlled conditions and arbor press it into vinyl. With enough practice, someone can get it right even using crude manufacturing methods. If I could get the CNC work done, the design of the heating elements would be relatively simple and the arbor press a no brainer. It could be done ....

Yea, I pretty much new the mechanics of it. Now if the price of those seats keep going through the roof somebody will get the ambition.

 

And Bob that is a fine looking seat, Kinda makes you want to just display it by itself on its own rights

that is the seat on my 73 GT 14 maybe early models as well...

looks good

Our local seat guy will sew in the logo from our old one at no charge.  

I like SOI's idea, but you also need the correct type of material to accept the pressing and hold the shape.
