110 TLB parts source

[Stock 87]

I have a 110 TLB, bought her new in 2002ish. Kept up on maintaining it but there are a few things that I looked past. Seat is in ok condition but seat back has come loose. Multi function joy stick boot is falling off etc. stupid little things that if fixed would take the machine from a 9 to a 10.

Problem is I cant find any parts...
Seat- $1,800 for the whole thing. You gotta be kidding me, All I need is the cushion.
Boot for joy stick- cannot even find mention of it anywhere.

Took three days of scouring the net to find the ball that goes on top of the lifting arm. Yes, three point hitch has been stored for 18 years in my garage and one of them fell out and got lost.

Just wondering why the parts for this machine seem to be un-obtainium?

Its a old machine ...... You can have the seat cushion reupholstered... Maybe a generic joy stick boot....

You can buy just the cushion for $172.44.....John Deere Parts Catalog

Thanks for th reply,
The seat is bonded to a steel pan. Not sure how a local shop could bond it like the factory did.

The one you linked is fo the later machine. Mine was the early model. Pre 2006

NOTHING looks cheesier than some after market seats.

Seat for my Kubota wheel loader was stupid expensive too. Lady Friend had it reupholtered (sp?) for an X-Mas Gift.

Almost: That's the Canadian spelling of "reupholstered"?:laughing:
Sorta like: harbour v/s harbor?

Kinda what I expected,
I want factory parts. Installing a "just cause it fits seat" will not help. I am hoping to install factory correct parts.


My search will continue...

If you want "factory correct parts" then you should expect to pay for OEM parts.

I had the same issue with my Kubota L48 TLB seat needing replacement.
The OEM replacement was over $900+ shipping.
I am very satisfied with my Seat Warehouse aftermarket seat for $150.
It is nearly identical.
What the he11.....even though my L48 has only 250 hours....it is nearly 14 years old, and is not a rare collector item.
