New Seat 1425

[Barryh]

Out with the old in with the new.

The ol 1425 is getting there. The old rusted rotted seat had seen better days. I sanded and repainted the metal seat mounts, cleaned and lubed the tracks while I had it off.

The new seat has fold up arm rests so like it a lot. Didn't get a suspension seat because I like the full length metal back in case of an engine fire.

I don't need the extra suspension because I don't use my PT for mowing grass. I have a lawn tractor that works fine for that. I don't have a golf course lawn out here anyway.. I'll be using my tractor for landscaping moving rocks and tree's.

Now onto a new Rop's and new lights..

You might consider cutting off some of the seat belt so it does not let the tires catch it.

 

[Barryh]

Yep J.J. it is a tad long. I should trim it .. It is the original belt that came with the tractor. I just cleaned it up and bolted it to the new seat..

get a retractable. I ignored Ken S recommenations and it cost me 2 belts and a bent seat.

 

[Barryh]

Ouch..

 

[MossRoad]

Yeah, I run mine over every so often, too. I'm pretty good at tossing the slack over my lap instead of letting it hang, but it happens about once a year. I should just trim a foot off the end. It's not like I'm ever going to gain 24" in my waist. 12". Perhaps! But not 24!

 

[Barryh]

Never done that to date, guess we all learn some hard lessons .... When I first got my PT-180, I did however put my foot down while turning one day and ran over it and pinned it. Last time I ever did that again ..

I just folded mine up and stuffed it into the crack between the seat cushion and seat back...

I really, really want to type something.....

Probably best just to think it and chuckle.... :dance1:

 

[Barryh]

Since I don't have a Rop's yet .. I do the same thing Peter. Want to be able to jump out if need be...

 

[ponytug]

I wear the belt, I just stuff the excess in the seat of the tractor.

All the best,

Peter
