BX23 to BX24 Seat Belt upgrade??

BSF215 · Mar 5, 2009

I REALLY LIKE the idea of having the seat belt when operating the backhoe, which the BX23 does not offer.I was wondering if anyone has tried to upgrade this / knows what might be involved parts wise?
Is the BX24 seat belt attached to the seat itself or to the fame? Would I need the lift & swivel mechanism also?
Thank you for your time,
Bryan

First , I gotta admit something. I havent looked at a BX23 up close yet so I cant compare the actual features difference of the seats. But I do know that they are built in simalar way. To answer your question of the BX24, The seat belt is actually built in the whole bottom plate for seat to mount to. If you wanted a different seat, It looks like you could swap it out for something different with same width while being able to use the same seat belt.

Perhaps a TBN'er BX23 owner could confirm this if it the same way ?
