My Farmall B tractor has a buckboard with a pan seat, which is hard on an old boy. I need help finding some seat for this tractor.
Thanks for any help.

I bought an old B years ago, where someone had removed the seat & springs, mounted a flat plate on the seat brackets, then bolted a high back bucket seat on it. The cushion was pretty thick on it, and my legs hit the steering wheel, so took it off.
On Dad's Farmall A, it had what I assumed was an aftermarket seat, or someone did a really nice job of fabricating one. Basically, a frame made of 3/4" angle iron turned up, and bolted to the side brackets. A nice cushy maybe 4"-6" thick square seat cushion. It had an open bottom oak frame, and they used upholstry springs for cushioning. A layer of foam, the covered with black naughahyde. A backrest fashioned from like 3/8" rod came up from each side of the angle iron frame, rounded corners at the top. I'm assuming it was a piece of like 1/8" sheet metal about 6" wide, was used to make a center upright on the backrest. And appaprently a thin piece of foam for cushion, then also covered with black naughahyde.
Never saw another one like it. I would love to have that old tractor back. I always figured that would be the only way I could really recognize it.

Or....!!! Go to Case/IH and get you a deluxe seat for a Farmall 140:(140) - FARMALL GAS TRACTOR (1/58-12/79) A little pricey @ $315+, but when it comes to one's back, may be worth it..!!
I checked for aftermarket ones, and they are actually higher.
Seems the link did not fully open, but it did open to the 140 parts page. Click on superstructure, then look for deluxe seat in the menu...
