adsm08 1,429 #1 Posted May 22, 2022 (edited) So, this question is specifically about the Speedex, but it kind of applies to lots of tractors in general. Does anyone have a good source for a metal basket-style seat? I've been searching, and all I come up with are ones that appear to be for decorative purposes. I need a functional one.

ebinmaine 62,889 #2 Posted May 23, 2022 I've heard tell of folks buying a garden roller cart with a metal seat and scavenging the seat. Otherwise fleebay and the vintage stuff.... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky-(Admin) 19,422 #3 Posted May 23, 2022 Are you sold on the metal one? This one is similar but has a bit of padding. I don’t have any close up pics of it… 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is intended to be a restoration project, and I'm trying to keep as close to original as I can. In the short term I have a few 60s JD's I can steal seats from, but in the long term I'd like to find something that wasn't scavenged from a different, arguably more valuable, project. I did find a few on ebay after posting, that didn't come up on the Goggle. A little in sticker shock there though, as I'm looking at almost $80 for a seat and a muffler.

squonk 38,809 #6 Posted May 23, 2022 (edited) Are you talking about a metal seat like Rj's and Suburbans used? I have the steel pan seat with the holes. Edited May 23, 2022 by squonk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
