Jake Kuhn 1,547 #1 Posted May 14, 2013 Hi guys, I scored a two piece logo seat a week and a half ago at the jones swap meet. It is in pretty good shape, it only has one small tear and the knob was broke off on the back. I might see if It can be repaired as I have a couple of nos knobs and the tear is really not bad. I bolted it on my c120 and it just does not seem like a comfortable seat, and does not give very much room compared to the highback I had Maybe I do not have the right thing to mount it, or maybe I should not have seat springs. I have a piece that the seat springs bolt to and then the seat can flip up on my c120. Wondering if somebody knows if I should have seat springs on, or if there should not be that piece on the bottom that makes the seat flip up. Here are some pictures of it on the c120 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

squonk 39,089 #3 Posted May 14, 2013 (edited) Most of those I've seen mount directly on the pan. Still not comfortable for me. The look nice but for my money I spend the bucks on a good ADJUSTABLE aftermarket seat from like TSC ect. For show use the WH seat. For seat time do something different.

Don1977 604 #4 Posted May 14, 2013 Just looking at the pictures. I would use longer bolts with a spacer under the hinges to tilt the seat back. The seat back is leaning forward in the picture. Try some wood spacers to see if it helps, you can make some metal ones if it works, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
"D"- Man 827 #5 Posted May 14, 2013 From the looks of the 4th pic someome has tried to drill out the adjustment knob stud that broke off, I broke one off of a same style seat. I carefully removed the vinyl off far enough to remove the metal backplate then I removed the whole old nut and had a new jam-nut welded on. I then slid the backplate into the vinyl, and then I used headliner adhesive to glue the vinyl back in place. Worked good, the only thing I didn't like was the fellow that welded the jam nut on, tapped it out and the adjustment knob now needs a lock washer to keep it tight.

Ken B 3,116 #6 Posted May 14, 2013 I've had a few tractors with that seat and though its a nice looking seat (and a pricey one!) it does nothing for rear end comfort. I agree, get yourself a comfier seat and save that one for a possible show tractor use in the future. The tear isn't too bad (yet) but it is only going to get worse if you use that 120 much. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SousaKerry 500 #7 Posted May 14, 2013 I have one in decent shape use it on the puller (why I don't know) but yeah they aint very comfortable and I use it without the springs. Tried to mount it on springs.. yeah that made it worse, same problem too far forward and leaned forward also. My fat gut just didn't fit. I think that the Wheel Horse engineers back in the day were all short skinny guys. The only tractor I have that my belly doesn't rub on the steering wheel is my C-175 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
