Seat Mods?

Recommended Posts

I'm looking to make the "ride" of my B-80 a little more civilized.  I'm thinking a flip up seat with springs.  Any thoughts on this?

I would at least add some seat springs. I don't know what  :wh: was thinking when they just plopped a seat on the fender pan and called it good. :angry-tappingfoot:

Agree with you Mike. And, it looks like they did to other tractors as well. According to my 1985 sales brochure, the 310-8 didn't come with seat springs. Had the flip up seat frame, but the seat was bolted directly to the frame.

I get bounced around pretty good on my 312-8, so I can't imagine spend several hours on one without the springs.

What is best - the "U" brackets or compression springs, or both?

Add springs and forget about it.

 

Absence of springs, agreed, was to lower costs.

The additional height (2 1/4" - 2 1/2") doesn't present an issue?
