Brian1045 28 #1 Posted December 13, 2008 I was reading the forum on "seat covers" and ran across a pic that sorekiwi had posted. His pic shows 2 carriage bolts for the seat mounting. If you look in the manual it shows only 1 in the center. I have mounted my new seat with 1 bolt, but there is a little back and fourth play before it hits the little stops. The 2 bolt makes more sense and way better for strength. I know this seems a petty thing. But I like a strong seat and wonder how everyone else's old timer WH's are mounted.

TJ 171 #2 Posted December 13, 2008 I use just the one bolt and my seat holds just fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All mine are just mounted with one bolt. The picture I posted is actually not my tractor (its probably an ebay picture I had saved), it was just the best picture I could find of a pan style seat! On the other hand, there is 2 holes in the spring, why not try it both ways, and see whether it makes a difference? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian1045 28 #4 Posted December 13, 2008 My seat came from an old Sears tractor but it's the same. I have a huge clap looking bracket that came with with it. I may try using it, especially if I use the back square hole. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
