Aftermarket seats

atomichead · Nov 23, 2001

Has anyone looked into or even replaced their Boomer seats? I have a TC18, which doesn't come with the deluxe seats on the 'D' models. I tried the 21D seat and it was a bit more comfortable. Then I sat on a NH seat my local dealer had in the showroom. It was baby blue vinyl (ugh!) with armrests and weight adjustment, and it was the weight adjustment feature that got me thinking. This thing was soooo comfortable. I'm going to get it but I wanted to know if anyone has figured out how to retrofit it to a non-deluxe Boomer.

When I had my tc29 I replaced the seat with a suspension seat bought from northern tool http://www.northerntool.com/cgi-bin/ncommerce3/ProductDisplay?prrfnbr=39321&prmenbr=6970 It was a great improvement. All I had to do was drill a couple of holes. In fact I have gone to a tc40d and now have the seat for sale, if anyone is interested let me know

I asked my dealer about seat options for my TC-18 and he told me that the 2002's have been improved. I have to stop in there today for some paint so I'll check it out! Price will another matter!!!! I'll let you know. dass

I retro-fit an aftermarket seat to a Kubota B7100 and probably not unlike the TC 18, it's just a matter of creativity. I too installed a weight adjustable/higher back/very comfortable seat, although mine came from the local TSC store. It's really a matter of figuring out what/where you can bolt to and then figuring out if you need any additonal platform or support braces. Really not hard, and definitely worth the expense and effort. Go for it.
