If the seat all the way back isn't quite enough, is there a way to get it to move back a little further ?
Is it possible to drill new seat mounting holes ?

Don't know why not ----- you could most likely get an extra couple of inches with new mount holes. You'll need to remove the rear deck.

I have a different tractor, but what I did was make new mounting brackets out of aluminum angle. The brackets bolt into the tractor using the existing bolts. The seat then bolts further back on the brackets. I moved my seat 2 inches up and 2.5 inches back. I'm 6'3" and I have never sat on a tractor as comfortable as this one is now that I moved the seat. However, If anyone were even a smigget shorter than me, there feet wouldn't even reach the floor now!
